Which LAN port to use on Deustche Telekom Speedport Smart 4 Router
-
Dear Friends in Germany,
If you use Deutsche Telekom’s Speedport Smart 4 router, plug the Ethernet cable from your computer into one of the three yellow Ethernet ports labeled LAN2, LAN3, and LAN4. Don’t plug your computer’s Ethernet cable into the blue port labeled Link/LAN1.
I was recently supporting a user whose Ethernet connection wasn’t working until they unplugged their computer’s Ethernet cable from the blue Link/LAN1 port and plugged it into one of the yellow ports. The Speedport Smart 4’s manual explains that Link/LAN1 is used to receive a signal from a fiber-optic modem or to connect a router when using the Speedport Smart 4 as a DSL modem.
Thank you,
David Liao
