Can anyone tell me how to configure a Wired WAN backhaul on a device Connector Rugged? This functionality is advertised on the Peplink website as a method of connection resiliency using Speedfusion over WIFi as a WAN and Wired WAN simultaneously.
The Device Connector can also combine a wired landline connection and a Wi-Fi connection. This configuration provides extra connection resilience and diversity: if one connection breaks, the other can still take over.
I found an old manual where it mentions running in wired or wireless mode:
However in the more recent (2017) manual I have not been able to find any mention of Wired WAN configuration.
I also do not see anywhere in the conifguration where I can configure a wired WAN. The ? button does not expand into advanced features either.
Just created an account on the forums to ask the same question. I purchased one of these to test out this concept, but ran into the same issue. Is it something that can be enabled via hidden menu?
Random question have you tried going to the LAN → Port settings, and unchecking the “Enable” box on the port you are trying to utilize as a WAN connection? Unclear if you are using the first or second port for your connection in…
I do not have one of these devices, but have noticed that to enable the shared WAN/LAN connection on most Peplink devices, you need to manually disable the LAN port option associated with the WAN connection. If that does not fix the issue I would open a ticket.
can you connect a rugged ip55 hardware 4 via hardwire? how does it interface with existing peplink router/AP/VLANs/etc? will it or can it act exactly like a peplink AP?
@sitloongs when is this feature going to be released? It has been two years now since this is mentioned as a feature that is coming. The firmware for the device connector has not been updated for 2 1/2 years (Nov 21, 2019) . Is this a dead product?
