Important note: if you disable all LAN ports on the router, you will lose access to the router via Ethernet. To regain access to the router you can:

• login to the router's wireless access point (AP) (provided that you assigned a wireless access point to the VLAN configuration)
• login remotely via RMS
• login remotely via the router's public IP address (provided remote access was configured prior to VLAN)
• login remotely via VPN (provided the VPN was configured prior to VLAN)
• reset the router's configuration to its default state
