Linksys EA8300 WAN not working when VLANs are createdd

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration

Hi,

I have an Linksys EA8300, I need to create VLANs, but when I do, the WAN interface stops working.

This happens in every OpenWRT version since 19 and I understand it is a hardware compatibility issue.

Do you know if this issue has been resolved, or if there is a plan to fix it?

There is a known issue with creating VLANs on IPQ40xx devices. Try searching forum for more information and possible workarounds.

Don't use Luci to create vlans on these devices. It breaks everything.
