Does this version enable me to redefine and use one of the 4 switch ports on the router as a WAN port?
If not, is there a version I can upgrade to after, that will have that capability, and be small enough to fit on the router?
SPECS from the wiki:
Linksys E1200v2
CPU Broadcom BCM5357
CPU Speed 300 MHz
Flash ROM 8 MB
RAM 32 MB
Radio 2.4 GHz
WLAN Support b/g/n
WLAN Max Speed 300 mbps
Thank you
Thanks for the prompt replies. I'm saving them for future reference.
However they seem to imply that hardware-wise, the WAN port is working, just not recognized, and that I have already done the trail install.
If I may rephrase my post question in a more obvious way, it is asking how to use one of the switch ports as a WAN port, simply that.
The WAN port is mechanically DOA (wire bent broken, etc.), which can happen when someone connects the cable modem very carelessly to the router WAN port, etc.
On this router, space is limited for installing and runnign DD-WRT:
Specs:
Flash ROM 8 MB
RAM 32 MB
So what I am asking, is:
1)- is the DD-WRT Trail version
dd-wrt.v24-21676_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini-e1200v2.bin
capable of making one of the switch ports act as a WAN port?
2)- if not, what is the smallest size upgrade I can add, that will do that?
I hope that someone who has done this type of port reassignment will pitch in?
Thank you

although I had heard the phrase "port forwarding" in a discussion relating to this problem, reading more about the term I realize that it covers mostly other functionality and does not present my question well.
The title cannot be changed, so I'm restarting this post anew with a better-defined title:

Please answer there

You can edit your original post, and change the title. You should do this rather than start a new topic on the same issue. _________________ SIG:

please show me how to change the title of this one? I have seen that when I write a new title in the "Subject" line, , it only shows on that single post, it does not change the title of the thread, so it does not help when people look for topics in the forum list...
I cannot get an answer with the port-forwarding phrase in the title I'm afraid... I need for the the thread title to indicate clearly, that I'm trying to use a switch port as a WAN port. If I can't get to do this with DD-WRT, I'll have to buy another router.
Don't install K3.x on your E1200. It will most likely brick if you try to revert back to a K26 build.
That is just not true of a E1200v2.
Myself and many others do this all time.
If fact, on the E1200v2, you have to first go back to a K2.6 mini build if you want to upgrade to a different K3.x

Because you have to change the subject in your OP; the first one. _________________ #NAT/SFE/CTF: limited speed w/ DD#Repeater issues#DD-WRT info: FAQ, Builds, Types, Modes, Changes, Demo#
