Configure WAN port as LAN

The router's WAN port can be configured as a second LAN port. To do this, we must take into account the firmware version of our kibox. If it has version 07.05.4 or higher, we will carry out a process. If it has a version older than this, we will have to go through a different process.

Version 07.05.4 or higher

• We make sure that we are in the basic mode of the interface by looking at the top of it:

• Navigate to the Network > LAN section and edit the LAN record:

• In the registry editing window navigate to the Interfaces: lan section and find the `Use WAN port as LAN` option, change its value to `ON`:

• Click "SAVE and APPLY" to save the settings:

Version prior to 07.05.4

• Click on NETWORK>INTERFACES:
