    WAN Port not working on Linkskey Broadband Router LKR-604


    I need some network assistance.


    I have never used the WAN port on the Linkskey.
    I set it up as a network switch.
    Up until the USB printer port failed this was the config...

    LAN Port 1 - ZTE wireless router (ISP connection to Internet)
    LAN Port 2 - This PC
    LAN Port 3 - Basement PC
    LAN Port 4 - Lorex DVR

    After Brother printer USB port failed...

    LAN Port 1 - ZTE wireless router (ISP connection to Internet)
    LAN Port 2 - This PC
    LAN Port 3 - Brother LAN connection
    LAN Port 4 - Lorex DVR

    Basement PC now has no connection.
    Need to move ZTE wireless router connection to WAN connector so I can connect basement PC to LAN port 1.


    Thanks in advance.
    Doug

    Use the WAN router address to connect to the Internet, and use the LAN router address to connect to the Computer "basement PC".

    I dont know what an "Internet splitter" is.

    You will still need a modem to connect to the ISP via Broadband .
