I received this device and have great service so long as I place it on the top level of my house! I want to utilize the LAN ports for an ethernet connection to my home router but it does not seem to negotiate with my router or even my switch? I have tried both dhcp and static settings for LAN1 and I still get no link lights on the router or switch. Connect a WIN10 laptop to the same ethernet cable and it will work with both dhcp and static assignments? What am I not seeing here?

Umm, yeah, that's how routers work.  Maybe I'm missing something in what you are trying to do.  i.e. you can turn off all the WiFi radios in the Nokia gateway, connect it to the WAN port and use your router to distribute to your LAN.  You'll end up with multiple NAT's but it works. 

 

 

Ummmm … I would disagree with using the WAN port. 
Go into the router you want to connect GUI, turn off all DHCP settings. 

Plug the Nokia Gateway into one of the LAN ports. This will make the router that you want to use an access point and the Nokia will be the only one showing a NAT.

IF the person asking does some research on the internet, google itself shows this method. 

To clarify = 

1. First, go into the GUI of the router that you want to use. Turn off all DHCP settings. 
2. Turn off all SSID and Broadcast settings in the Nokia tower for EVERY 2.5 and 5 ghz SSID, you must save each setting before going to the next SSID.
3. Make sure you have the router you want to use programmed with the SSIDs and passwords that you want.
4. Plug Nokia Router into the LAN port of the router that you want to use. Do NOT ever use the WAN port. NEVER.
5. Your all done. You may need to reboot the devices. The Router that you want to use is now an access point for the Nokia Tower. The Nokia Tower Wifi is turned off and will see all the devices from the router you wanted to use as Ethernet connections.
