Define a dedicated WAN port for devices that do not have one #42
Comments
There is some issue that sometimes the port order is changed. We could make some script that always makes a vlan on port 1 that is used as wan? |
Are you referring to the internal switch port numbering that OpenWrt utilizes vs the numbers on the routers' case? |
Yep. ;) |
I will gladly gather the individual mappings for the affected boards, but I don't know how to patch the wizard. |
We just have to add a vlan untagged on port 1 and add it to wan. Further, we have to remove the lan vlan from port 1. |

I agree on that position, as keeping compability with openwrt is one of our main goals on falter. |
This issue was partly solved via #212. The new default scripts will configure a WAN interface also on devices, that don't have one. Thus you can connect a port to the wan-interface easily on the switch. The ideas for more easy configuration gets addressed in the new wizard. |
There are some boards like the AVM Fritzbox 7530 that perform great as a tunneldigger uplink, but do not offer a dedicated WAN ethernet port (only LAN 1-4 for example).
At the moment the Wizard does not create a WAN port at all if ran on these boards.
For the tunneldigger uplink usecase I suggest defining LAN1 as WAN on these routers and show a hint in the wizard during setup.
We have a similar situation with routers that sport only one eth port. Currently, it will always be configured as Freifunk DHCP, even if the user decides to use the device as a tunneldigger uplink node.
Other affected devices include TP-Link CPE210/510 V2 & V3, TL-MR3020, Comfast CF-E130N v2, ... – essentially all boards that either lack a labelled WAN port or have only one eth port at all.
