The PR60X allows you to enable the LAN5 port to become a secondary WAN port. This can create a fail over WAN interface in the event that the WAN 1 port loses connection to the internet. A secondary internet service provider is required to fully utilize the secondary WAN port.
To enable the secondary WAN port:
- Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your router’s network.
- Enter https://www.routerlogin.net.
