Armor G5

Hi all
Can I switch the WAN port to LAN mode on Armor G5? I need 2 ports 10G + 2.5G

Hello @KorP

Looking at the user guide https://download.zyxel.com/Armor_G5_(NBG7815)/user_guide/Armor%20G5%20(NBG7815)_V1.00_Ed4.pdf linked from https://www.zyxel.com/global/en/support/download?model=armor-g5-nbg7815 and from https://www.zyxel.com/global/en/products/wifi-router/ax6000-12-stream-multi-gigabit-wifi-6-router-armor-g5 that this is not possible.

One option for you would be to put the 10G port into a 10G LAN switch, such as https://www.zyxel.com/global/en/products/switch/28-port-10gbe-l3-aggregation-switch-xs3800-28 or https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/products/42569-qnap-qsw-2104-2t/ or https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/products/36054-mikrotik-crs305-1g-4s-in/

       - You have a choice based on number of ports, and whether you want a managed or unmanaged switch.

Here is a review of the MicroTik switch, for example, see https://www.servethehome.com/mikrotik-crs305-1g-4sin-review-4-port-must-have-10gbe-switch/

I hope that this is helpful.

Kind regards,

I too suggest getting a switch
