Hi,

How do I set WAN ethernet port as LAN on RUTx09?
Is possible?

Thanks

Answer 1

Hello,

The option is available in the latest FW. However, it's not an option per se (there's no check mark for it like there was on older devices); you have to bridge the wired WAN interface with LAN.

Instructions are here.

Hello,

Currently this is achievable via SSH/CLI. Connect to the RUTX11 SSH by using "putty" software (https://www.putty.org/) credentials are:

- username: root

- password: current routers admin password

After connecting use following command: vi /etc/config/network then press letter [I] on your keyboard to start editing. And change following settings:

config interface 'lan'
        option type 'bridge'
        option ifname 'eth0 eth1'
        option proto 'static'
        option ipaddr '192.168.1.1'
        option netmask '255.255.255.0'
        option ip6assign '60'

And:

config interface 'wan'
        option ifname 'eth1'
        option proto 'dhcp'
        option enabled '0'

After changing press [Esc] button on the keyboard and write :wq and press [Enter]. After that you can ether reboot device or restart only a network service by using command: /etc/init.d/network restart

Option to change/select use WAN as LAN in the WebUI should come in the near future.

Problem solved. Need to make sure the VLAN settings haven't been changed from the default values. They should be as shown:

It has been 9 months since this response. Maybe there is a hope that this option will appear?

Thank you, it works!

The WAN6 interface I suppose also needs to be turned off?

PS Your comment should be made a response.

WAN6 should go down automatically after bridging WAN and LAN.

Hi.

Please try disabled '1' instead of enabled '0'
