Hi EB,

I use the CLI and edit below line in /etc/config/network

config interface 'wan'

option enabled '1'

option ifname 'eth1' changed to 'eth1.100' to set the WAN with VLAN 100 for NBN.

After changed to eth1.100, the interface name for the Wired WAN become "-" and didn't show on the load balance list.

Hi,

As you are changing the config - WebUI will not like it and nothing will show up in WAN placeholders.

But there is a workaround with Load Balancing.

You should head over to /etc/config/

and edit the network config file so you would have two Wired WAN interfaces. One that you have now and another one identical but with a VLAN option added.

This way you will avoid Load Balancing drop-down menu breaking and you should be able to select your modified WAN interface.

To your newly created WAN interface give this option:

        option ifname 'eth1.100'
