Use DSL interface to connect to Ethernet LAN

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

Hi,

I successful flashed OpenWRT to a Fritz!Box 7520. I would like to connect the device to my LAN via the DSL-interface of the box. Is it possible to configure the interface dsl0 to be a normal Ethernet-interface?

DSL interface is asymmetrical and only suitable for connecting to DSL-equipped phone line.
Do you mean to utilize one LAN port port as WAN?

It is not possible and would be dangerous to try, the electrical side is considerably different.

…but you can configure lan1 (or any other of the ethernet-ports) as wan, which is what Fritz!OS would do as well.
