As a result, the ethernet port becomes a WAN port and another port becomes a fixed LAN port. If you unknowingly plug in the modem to the LAN port, the parent node goes offline and shows a red light. However, to get rid of that, you can plug in the modem again choosing the right node this time. If the light still persists, then reboot the parent node and make the connections again.
