Configuring WAN Connections
By default, the WAN1/LAN0 port on the back panel of the RV315W is set to a
secondary WAN interface so that the RV315W can support a second Internet
connection to ensure continuous connectivity or to increase available bandwidth
and balance traffic.
The RV315W allows you to add multiple subinterfaces on a physical WAN
interface. Each WAN subinterface can be used to set up an Internet connection but
only one of these connections can be used as the default route of the physical
WAN interface. Up to eight WAN subinterfaces can be added on the physical WAN
interfaces.
To configure a WAN connection through a physical WAN interface or its
subinterface:
STEP 1 Click Port Settings > WAN > WAN Interface Settings. The WAN Interface
Settings page opens.
STEP 2 To add a WAN subinterface on a physical WAN interface, click Create. The Add
WAN page opens.
NOTE To edit the settings of a physical WAN interface, click the Edit icon of the
corresponding WAN interface. The Edit WAN page opens.
STEP 3 In the Internet Connection Type area, select either Route Mode or Bridge Mode
for a WAN subinterface. The Route Mode is always selected for a physical WAN
interface.
STEP 4 If Route Mode is selected, select the radio button of the Internet connection type
that you use to connect to the Internet depending on your ISP requirements and
specify the corresponding settings of the selected Internet connection type.
