It's got nothing to do with fiber, but with Cisco. I understand that you have your how gateway that takes care of firewall, dhcp, nat, etc. So you only need to disable those services from the Cisco box and connect directly the Cisco to your own existing gateway. By the way, LAN and WiFi ports on the Cisco should work the same. Bests, Olivier > > I think the the lan is fine and all I have to do is connect the firewall of > the lan to the dhcp.
