dear friends,

i have 3 wan connected to TPLINK TL-R480T+ router
(http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/cat-4910_TL-R480T%2b.html)

modem1
wan: dynamic public ip
lan: 192.168.1.254, 255.255.255.0
dhcp: 192.168.1.1 - 253

modem2
wan: dynamic public ip
lan: 192.168.2.254, 255.255.255.0
dhcp: 192.168.2.1 - 253

modem3 (cannot change local ip, locked in firmware)
wan: static public ip
lan: 192.168.1.254, 255.255.255.0
dhcp: 192.168.1.1 - 253

connected to the router as:
wan1: 192.168.1.1
wan2: 192.168.2.1
wan3: 192.168.1.1

how to set in wan3 so the router will receive 192.168.3.254 instead of 192.168.1.254
to avoid problem, using NAT or any forwarding feature, without changing the modem1-3 local dhcp address.

thank you so much

I know little about that router. My guess is it still will not work because it will reject the assignment of the same ip to the wan even if you configure the NAT. The NAT is done after the packets arrive, as they arrive the ip will be duplicated on 2 interfaces.

You will need a different router between the modem3 and your tplink just to do the translations.
You can't one of the modems must be changed. This is one of those fundamental things related to how subnets work. You could of course put a device in between to do 1-1 nat (consumer router can't) and nat the complete subnet but that would be silly to do.

Best options is to change modem1 ip for the lan.
