Solved WAN Port not working on Linkskey Broadband Router LKR-604

[dlwmacgregor]

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".

Thanks.
Or I guess I could just buy a bigger unmanaged network switch like this one...


NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch, Desktop, Internet Splitter, Sturdy Metal, Fanless, Plug-and-Play (GS308): Amazon.ca: Computers & Tablets

I dont know what an "Internet splitter" is.

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

Please read what I have connected to LAN Port 1.

How many LANs do you have now?

Please read my original post.
I have decided to buy the Netgear 8-port unmanaged switch.
Thank you.
