WRT1900acv2 LEDE (both 17.0.1.4 and davidc502 won't connect WAN PORT)

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration

Have been running chaos calmer fine for years. There is nothing wrong with my cable modem, etc so don't ask ---- and everytime I switch back to chaos calmer I am fine.

On LEDE -- wifi is fine, no access to WAN port whatsover. Have rebooted cable modem and detached, reatteached router WAN port a zillion times. no bytes in, period (this no DHCP response). Yes, this needs to be DHCP on the WAN port

switch back to chaos calmer and I am fine every time. Switch to lede (tried std and davidc502 build) -- no wan port, period. Thoughts? (Here's one of the broke ones -- this is davidc502)

BusyBox v1.28.3 () built-in shell (ash)

  • Are you resting to defaults, or saving your configs when upgrading???
  • What version of LEDE are you flashing to?

Anything interesting shown by

swconfig dev switch0  show

I assume you are not keeping config

I was keeping config. Bad idea? I had tried both lede 17.01.4, AND the davidc502 build which is shown in the login logo above.

It doesnt appear that VLAN2 (WAN) is assigned to a port.

Yes, the ports / vlans were reworked from CC, and your switch config appear wrong.

Yeah, I noticed on choas calmer, enable_vlan isn't even enabled, which, given that it
works, is probably the way I want it on LEDE too. (I see no need for the tagging of any sort)

Thanks, I think I will be all set once I either figure out the network setting on LEDE, or just
start fresh on LEDE config (which I didn't feel like doing)

I appreciate the quick help, this seems like a great formum

You should.
15.05 is so ancient that at least system, network and partially also firewall config defaults (or hardware-related settings) have changed, mostly between 15.05 and 17.01 but also later...

Let the firmware to create at least /etc/config/network and /etc/config/system from scratch.

OK thanks --- yes it was really firewall I mostly needed to save, but I can always copy those
out and back in.

Will let you know how it goes when I get back to work on it tonight ----
