Netgear D6400 – AC1600 WiFi VDSL/ADSL Modem Router—802.11ac Dual Band Gigabit Manuel D’Utilisation

The modem router can autodetect the type of WAN connection. However, you can also set 
the WAN connection preference manually to either the DSL port or the Ethernet WAN port.

The modem router does not support load balancing over ADSL and 
Ethernet WAN interfaces. Only one WAN interface (either the DSL 
port or the Ethernet WAN port) can be active at any time.

A network of computers and devices can behave as if they are connected to the same 

network even though they might actually be physically on different segments of a LAN. Virtual 
LANs (VLANs) are configured through software rather than hardware, which makes them 
very flexible.
