Hi All, At this point, basically long time listener, first time caller. My desired setup is relatively simple, and I thought I had gathered enough information to implement it, but it continues to elude me. My desired network setup (simplified) is as shown [Desired Router State] Pretty straight…

Thanks again to @slh for all of his help in clarifying this issue. For anyone who stumbles across this issue with this router until it is patched, I am copying the important bits here. Dont use VLAN 1 or 2 Apparently there is some weirdness with the IPQ40xx hardware using those under the hood, …

What you're looking for is possible and basically rather simple as well (there are multiple guest WLAN/ VLAN guides in the wiki, just don't configure the WLAN part if you just want the VLAN for the trunk port of your switch). However your choice of router complicates this slightly, as the current sw…

This is technically not quite correct, physically there is only a single CPU port - but the swconfig based switch driver presents that as two interfaces. Oh jeez. Just my luck I got a router that is not only one level more confusing than a stock setup, but multiple layers more complex than a stan…

I see this post in that thread which gives a summary solution [image] IPQ40xx Switch Config "Strangeness" (swconfig) For Developers For those who read this post and are a little bit confused (I was) about a solution how to configure VLAN on the EA6350. This is based on th…

[image] ouifi: "Dont Use VLAN 1-2" because the drivers/hardware reserve them Correct. [image] ouifi: Do I need to wait for a patch or upgrade anything? This is a long-standing issue (with the swconfig driver), while a 'fix' for this has been committed in the past, it had to be reverte…

Thanks so much for your help. I would have NEVER figured this out or thought to look for hardware/low level issues. As a beginner homelabber, I was almost ready to throw in the towel and sell all my gear :sob: Does anything else about my desired setup seem odd? I think I can manage to work with edi…

[image] ouifi: I bought an Archer C7v5 that I was gonna use as my guest WIFI AP. That one should just work (single CPU port connected to the switch, separating WAN and the LAN ports), for the purpose of setting up VLANs it should be trivial - but your ea8300 (ipq4019) is considerably better /…

[image] slh: your ea8300 (ipq4019) is considerably better / faster hardware (with the afforementioned caveat) I was torn about this as well while suffering through attempt after attempt. It is a nice router I got from a family member for free (who didnt know what it was but knew I was into te…

When I first started use VLAN at first I made the mistake to set one LAN port on VLAN 1 to trunk mode in LuCi. It worked fine. And then after a while I changed my mind and set it to not trunk mode again which resulted in a continous loop error when save and apply in LuCi and all hell broke lose. T…

Do you know is progress going good for DSA on IPQ4028? Can we expect this on OpenWRT 21.02 release, or we should have more patience? Non working VLAN on WAN means I can't use clean OpenWRT, and I must stick to GL.iNet firmware which isn't good :confused:

[image] the4anoni: Can we expect this on OpenWRT 21.02 release 21.02 will ship with swconfig drivers.

Cant setup VLANS correctly; What am I missing?

Are you willing to try to compile your own firmware ?
I did so for my fritzbox 4040 (ipq4018) and I can use VLAN 1,2,3,... on any port even when using Luci.
Start reading here please:

Cheers,
