Specific Configuration
Network interfaces
The default network configuration (as best can be told) is:
| Interface Name | Description | Default configuration |
|---|---|---|
| br-lan | LAN & WiFi | 192.168.1.1/24 |
| eth0 | 2.5Gbit port marked WAN ¹ | Setup for DHCP (external), not working |
| lan1-4 | Default LAN 1Gbit port | DHCP (internal) |
| phy0-ap0 | Default 2.4GHz Wifi ax/b/g/n | DHCP (internal) |
| phy1-ap0 | Default 5GHz Wifi ac/ax/n | DHCP (internal) |
* note 1: older OpenWRT 25.12.4, WAN port has not been supported on some device, so the workaround is to move wan port to lanX (one of the lan ports) to the WAN.
Switch Ports (for VLANs)
Please fill in real values for this device, then remove the EXAMPLEs
Numbers 0-3 are Ports 1-4 as labeled on the unit, number 4 is the Internet (WAN) on the unit, 5 is the internal connection to the router itself. Don't be fooled: Port 1 on the unit is number 3 when configuring VLANs. vlan0 = eth0.0, vlan1 = eth0.1 and so on.
| Port | Switch port |
|---|---|
| Internet (WAN) | EXAMPLE 4 |
| LAN 1 | EXAMPLE 3 |
| LAN 2 | EXAMPLE 2 |
| LAN 3 | EXAMPLE 1 |
| LAN 4 | EXAMPLE 0 |
