Basic info
- Buffalo product page
- Same board as Buffalo's WHR-HP-G54, but missing a WAN port [1].
Adding a WAN port
It is possible to change one of the 4 default LAN ports into a WAN port. The typical disclaimers apply; messing with this stuff could brick your unit.
Preliminary
This procedure was tested using v24-SP2, release 08/07/10 (SVN revision: 14896), with the VPN build.
Facts you should know:
-
eth0
is the interface to access all physical network ports -
eth1
is the wireless network interface -
vlan0
is the virtual network device that represents LAN ports. It's "real" device iseth0
. -
vlan1
is the virtual network device that represents WAN ports. It's "real" device is alsoeth0
.
Procedure
- Install dd-wrt, turn on the SSH server, and set your public key.
- SSH into the router.
- Update the boardflags from
0x3658
to0x3758
(add0x0100
):
root@wli-tx4-g54hp:~# nvram get boardflags 0x3658 root@wli-tx4-g54hp:~# nvram set boardflags="0x3758" root@wli-tx4-g54hp:~# nvram commit
- Adding
0x0100
is necessary because the hardware doesn't have a WAN port and the firmware is initially configured without VLAN support. I tried this because the hardware is basically the same as the WHR-HP-G54, which supports VLANs.
3. Reboot. After booting, there should now be a "VLAN" tab under "Setup" and there should be two new interfaces in the "Networking" tab: vlan0
and vlan1
.
