    Hi guys,

    I have magnet broadband at home, but the router they provide is pretty poor. So I thought I'd borrow the f1000 from my friend and see would that work of the ethernet cable.

    There's a direct ethernet Internet connection in each room. What settings should I enable for the router to work with the Internet or is the Internet connection through the WAN port not possible?

    Oh I've given up at this stage. Might try to bridge it, but it just looks far easier just to buy a proper router.
