Configure TD-W8961ND WAN settings
Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : TD-W8961ND
Hardware Version : V3
Firmware Version : 3.0.0 build 120808 Ref,28888
ISP : BT Infinity
Hi, I'm trying to configure my new TD-W8961ND for BT Infinity. I have a printout of the settings I need but I now need to configure one of the LAN ports, preferably LAN 4, to WAN so that I can connect it to the BT Infinity/Open Reach modem.
From what I can find out, the configuration screens on my TD-W8961ND have been changed and look nothing like those described in the TP-Link FAQ's.
Would someone please be so kind as to give me an idiots guide in plain, non-technical, English describing how to configure a LAN port as a WAN port for use with BT Infinity.
Thanks very much.

Hi.
After checking the User Guide of TD-W8961ND, I'm afraid that this modem cannot be configured to change the LAN port into WAN port.
You can just replace the BT modem router with TD-W8961ND.
Or if you want to make TD-W8961ND work with the BT router, you can disable DHCP function on TD-W8961ND and then connect the BT router to the LAN port of TD-W8961ND by an Ethernet cable. In this way, TD-W8961ND can be working as a wireless access point.
