Possible to assign WAN port to LAN in ASUS RT-N66U in repeater mode?

[Razzmatazz]

I'm using an RT-N66U (Asus-Merlin 374.40) in repeater mode. Since I don't need the WAN port, I'd like to make it a 5th LAN port. Is that possible? (It's a checkbox option on DD-WRT but otherwise DD-WRT's throughput is inferior to Merlin's.)

The WAN port in "Access Point" mode becomes an extra LAN port. It's probably the same when in repeater mode. Why don't you try it and let us know.

I tried it. It doesn't automatically switch.

Okay, now we know. Thanks

Thanks. I didn't think Tomato could do repeater mode.
