Region : Argentina
Model : TL-R470T+
Hardware Version : V4
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I have two ADSL lines with different ISPs; each has an ADSL modem, connected to the first ports of my RL-R480T+ router, as WAN1 and WAN2.
Occasionally there is a problem on one of the ADSL lines, either a fault with the modem, or on the copper wire, or at the ISP. To investigate, I unplug the modem from the router and connect a PC instead, so that I can use the modem's web interface. My question is, is there a way to see that interface without fiddling around with the cables? That is, can I use a PC connected to the LAN side of the router to look at the web interface of the modems?

Yes, it is very simple to do!
I have the TL-ER5120 router, and I assume the R470T+ has a similar web interface.
The first step is to give each modem a unique LAN IP address by logging directly into the modem using a PC.
For example: Modem 1= 10.0.3.1, and Modem 2= 10.0.4.1
Once that is done, go into the R470T+ interface: Network/Wan/Wan1.
Just under the PPPoE settings you will see "Secondary Connection".
Set the Secondary connection to Static IP, and enter the LAN IP you assigned to modem1+1.
So the IP address you enter for Wan1 will be: 10.0.3.2. and the subnet mask would usually be 255.255.255.0
After entering those values for Wan1 click the save button.
Now click on the Wan2 tab, and repeat the same steps under "Secondary Connection".
Select Static IP, and enter the LAN IP of modem2+1.
So the IP address of Wan2 would be 10.0.4.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
Click save.
Now you will be able to access your modem interface by typing 10.0.3.1 for modem1 and 10.0.4.1 for modem2 without disconnecting any wires!

Thanks, but my router doesn't seem to offer those settings.
I would have answered sooner, but these forums seem to have been unavailable for a few days. Is that normal?
I just noticed that my original post says R470T+; in fact, my router is a TL-R480T+.
Firmware Version:
4.3.3 Build 121101 Rel.61649s
Hardware Version:
R480T+ V4 00000000

Hi,
Yes, the TP-Link site is frequently down, that would explain the unavailability of the forum!
I have checked the Emulator on the TP-Link site for both the R470T+ and the R480T+, and they are both showing the availability of "Secondary Connection" for the Wan.
At first I thought your firmware may be outdated, but you do have the latest firmware for your device.
Have you tried clicking the advanced button at the bottom centre of your screenshot? Maybe the option is there.
If that does not work, then you will need to wait for a firmware update that will incorporate this missing feature.
Sorry I cannot be of more help.

Thanks for trying. I think you are right; all I can do is hope for a firmware update for my v4 hardware.
The Advanced button only gives me this
which doesn't help.
