I have a small query regarding WAN port use on the Router. Why is it not possible to use the regular LAN port on the router to connect to the ADSL modem+Router(with just 1 RJ45 port and 1 RJ11 port). (just changing the default ip to the current network ip range that is used by MODEM) What are the drawbacks that people use WAN port over LAN ?
So the setting will be 192.168.1.1 (ADSL) 192.168.1.5 (Router) and 192.168.1.10/11/12 (My PC/LAPTOPS)

1What router do you have ? – Lawrence – 2014-07-31T08:01:41.383
You need to config mask and default gateway on the same net.
Example for the router that connects to modem+router: IP / 192.168.1.2 MASK / 255.255.255.0 Gateway / 192.168.1.1 – edumgui – 2014-07-31T12:51:30.133
