10G/Multi-Gigabit Dual WAN Pro Router Model PR460X  

The WAN1 port supports Auto Uplink technology, which allows you to attach devices  

using either straight-through or crossover cables. Use a Category 5e (Cat 5e), or Cat 6  

cable that is terminated with an RJ-45 connector.  

Note: Instead of a modem, you can also use an existing LAN that provides Internet  

connectivity through another router in your network. In that case, connect the cable  

from the existing LAN to the WAN1 port on the router. The router then functions as a  

secondary router. For more information, see the user manual, which you can download  

by visiting netgear.com/support/download/.  

To connect a modem to the router’s RJ-45 WAN1 port:  

1. Unplug the modem’s power, leaving the modem connected to the wall jack for your  

Internet service.  

If the modem uses a battery backup, remove the battery.  

2. Connect the modem to the RJ-45 WAN1 port on the router.  

Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the router and the Internet  

modem to 328 feet (100 meters).  

3. Verify that the cable is installed correctly.  

4. If the modem uses a battery backup, put the battery back in the modem.  

5. Plug in and turn on the modem.  

Optional Step 6: Connect the router to a  

second modem for WAN failover  

The following procedure describes how to connect the router to a second modem such  

as a DSL or cable modem that provides failover Internet connectivity.  

By default, the LAN5 WAN2 port functions as a high-speed LAN5 port. You can use the  

device UI to change the function of the LAN5 WAN2 port to a WAN2 port and manually  

configure your second ISP connection. For more information, see the user manual,  

which you can download by visiting netgear.com/support/download/.  

In a dual WAN setup, one WAN port functions as the primary or active interface, and  

the other WAN port as the secondary or backup interface. (You can configure which  

WAN port functions as the primary interface.) If the primary interface goes down (for  

example, your ISP has an outage), the router can automatically switch (that is, failover)  

to the secondary WAN interface. When the primary WAN interface comes back up again,  

the router can automatically switch back from the secondary WAN interface to the  

primary WAN interface. Only one WAN connection is up at any time.
