Support for Linksys E2500 V4

Ok. It must work now before reboot. Check pls.

after refreshing the network card it gets IP address and i can log into LUCI. whats next?

You can find switch menu in LUCI and configure switch constantly:
enable, add vlan 1 and vlan 2 as in command line, port 6 - CPU port must be in both vlan and is marked as tagged.
Or I can rebuild firmware with correct switch config.

it would be simpler for you to rebuild firmware with the correct changes. also none of the LED's are configured in LUCI but they appear to be working right.

Ok. I've refrashed archvie. You can upgrade firmware in LUCI. After that run command

firstboot

to reconfigure switch again.

do you have a link to the firmware?

The same link as pointed above. I've simply refreshed archive

Its still not giving me an ip address unless i manually issue the commands you told me to do originally.

i manually issued the commands to get back into LUCI and now its not letting me change the password.

In serial console run command firstboot and after reboot show output of command

cat /etc/config/network
root@OpenWrt:/# cat /etc/config/network
cat: can't open '/etc/config/network': No such file or directory

Pls show output of command:
dmesg

Something wrong. No switch config in network configuration. It's possibly bug in 19.07.2 release. I'll rebuild release 19.07.1 in couple of minutes for test. Ok?

sounds good to me! i'll be waiting to test it.

Version 19.07.1 here


After upgrade in serial console run firstboot command and show /etc/config/network again.

did that and this is what it says but it assigns an IP address now.

root@OpenWrt:/# show /etc/config/network
/bin/ash: show: not found

Command looks like:

cat /etc/config/network
root@OpenWrt:/# cat /etc/config/network
