@jaystormdj As two other replies have told you the WAN port cannot be configured to be used as an ethernet LAN connection. Some routers are able to do this but not the Plusnet HUB2

@jaystormdj - as others have alluded to, it's not something that can be done locally. The functionality doesn't exist. If you need more LAN ports, then a switch is the way to go.

would i need to contact plusnet for a new router with 4 ethernet ports and will it be a charge as well?
