Model: ER7206 (TL-ER7206)  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

I m asking because it is the only port left on my router. 2 ports are used as WAN ports and the other 3 have a switch attached. I t would be prety nice to use the SFP port to interconnect with one of the switches.

@NikosK According to the specification, I am afraid not. The interface shows it is a fixed SFP WAN port.

Yes I  know, I m asking because if it a firmware lock it might be removed in an update which is not possible with a hardware limitation.
