Folks, I desperately need some help.
I've shifted houses and am in the process of moving from MTNL Triband ADSL to Spectranet FTTH.
I own this D-Link Wireless ADSL Router:
http://fkrt.it/RHKuOYNN
It has an RJ-11 WAN port and four RJ-45 LAN port. For FTTH, an RJ-45 WAN port is required. Is there a way to convert the LAN port into WAN and continue using this router? The Spectranet installer has flatly refused.
To complicate matters, I don't own a PC anymore. I have a Xiomi MI3 and an ancient iPad 2. The wife has an office laptop but without admin rights.
I spent Rs2500 on this router just last year and I hate to see it go waste. Is there any way of saving it? Please help! I'm a complete networking noob.
Any tips, pointers, help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Edit: I just received a msg saying I've been awarded a "sufferer of MTNL" trophy. This is to clarify I'm NOT an MTNL sufferer. I would have happily continued with MTNL if not for the fact that it's not available at my new location
