Hi I've just installed RC2 for my Linksys WRT1900AC and so far I've got the internet and Wi-Fi working. However, as this is so much more advanced compared to stock firmware than the commercial routers most people are used to with stock firmware I'm trying to understand all of the menus on the router and make the most out of CFW.
Currently I'm trying to get my head around network interfaces and VLAN's because initially when I opened the OpenWRT GUI for the first time I went into the 'Network > Swtich' and disabled and deleted the VLAN listings and my connection to the router was completely lost, leaving me no choice but to factory reset the router via reset pin. From my understanidng each port represents the hardware ports on the router itself but I don't have anything easily labelled as all I see is
Port 0 Port 1 Port 2 Port 3 Port 4 CPU Port 6
and listed from the drop down boxes
off
untagged

Why when I delete the default VLAN rules I lose all connectivity to my router? This is all completely newbie to me and I've tried all of the official OpenWRT Wiki pages and other websites and it's not making sense. If someone can shed some light on this with easy explanations etc. I would be highly grateful of it.
Many thanks
Will
