I had to change my 4/5G Predator Router since it didn't work anymore. On this Router I used the Swisscom WLAN Box 2 as Back up Internet Access Point on the WAN Port.
I am using the WAN Port with the cable internet as back up in case 4/5G is down in our place is down (we do not have fiber here).
My new Router is a 4/5G DrayTek Vigor 2927 Lax-5G which has 2 WAN Ports and several LAN Ports. On one WAN Port I am using a Deko 5G Router as mobile Back Up Access Point and I would like to use the WLAN Box 2 as second (cable) Back Up Access Point to the internet (.
The WAN Port with the Deko Modem works flawlessly and the DrayTek recognizes the Deko Router without any problems.
The second WAN Port does not recognize the Swisscom WLAN Box 2 as Internet Source (eventhough there has been no changes since I used exactly this WLAN Box 2 on the predator Router, where it worked). Changing of the ports does not make any difference.
What settings need to be done on the DrayTek that it recognizes the WLAN Box 2 as Internet Source? The DrayTek offers the following Settings for WAN: PPPoE, static or dynamic IP, PPTP/L2TP or IPv6.
I am no pro, so i actually hoped it works like before, plug and play , but this does not seem to be the way with the WLAN Box 2 on this new Router…
Thanks a lot for your advice
