Adding WAN Port to Switch (use as a normal LAN port)

When the WRT is used as an Access Point (AP) or repeater (WDS), the WAN port can easily be configured as a normal LAN port.

Use the following steps:

1.)

Under "Setup" -> "Basic Setup"
Set "Internet Setup" to "Disabled"


2.)

Under "Setup" -> "VLANs"
- Select "LAN" under "Assigned to bridge" for VLAN 1 * This will set the WAN port (vlan1) is part of the LAN bridge (br0).


3.)

The VLAN setting should show something like:
             |       Port        |   Assigned
     VLAN    |-------------------|   to bridge
             | W | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
    --------------------------------------------
       0     |   | x | x | x | x |     LAN
    --------------------------------------------
       1     | x |   |   |   |   |     LAN
    --------------------------------------------
       2     |   |   |   |   |   |     None
    --------------------------------------------
      ...
    --------------------------------------------
     Tagged  |   |   |   |   |   |
    ------------------------------

4.)

Save Settings

5.)

Reset the Router
  (See Note)


Note:

  Rebooting the router (Step 5) is not required if you issue
  the following command at a terminal (SSH,Telnet).
  
  However, ONLY issuing the command WITHOUT the steps (1-4)
  above will ONLY last until the next reboot).



Command:
  'brctrl addif br0 vlan1'

It would be nice to be able to assign different networks to each of the ports.. Is there any work done in this direction?
