WAN POE possible

Is it just as simple as assigning one of the two POE ports on the route 10 to be a WAN port? My ONT requires POE and the extra injector adds to the mess.

Replying to my own question for those that might ask in the future. Just pick an unused port on the router with POE. Change it to WAN and select the WAN profile to use. Move your WAN Link. Reboot router. Voilà it works!!! No more POE injector, no more extra cable.

This is exactly what I’m attempting to do. I’ve configured the default LAN 1 to be a WAN, but I cannot get an internet connection thru it at all.

I must not be configuring it correctly. I chose the mode (WAN) and the WAN #. What am I missing?
