Hi all,

i want to block / shutdown the 4 Lan Ports on the Dlink 2750 U Router.

I need this as my clients only use the wifi and never connect a rj45 cable to the network port on the router.

the 2750 has 4 ports and i want to block all 4.

is this possible through the management console on the router. I couldn't find any such option

please advise.

The ports can not be turned off.

I suggest that you place the Modem in a secure location or where only authorized users have access to the modem. In a locked room maybe.

Hi

Thanks for the reply

Is it possible to telnet to  this router and then
Shutdown the ports through command line

[FurryNutz]

No there isn't.

Try "port mapping". Put the four lan ports into a group isolated with the rest of the network. At least the client connected to one of the four can't access the rest of the network.

Or.......... just physically damage them

[FurryNutz]

I highly recommend not damaging the modems ports.

I highly recommend not damaging the modems ports. 

sure. someday when the wireless doesn't work, an RJ45 will be the only pathway to get to the configuration interface
