Hi all,
Im considering moving from Virgin Media to Vodafone 900 over City Fibres network..
My question is, will my Nighthawk R7800 work connected to the ONT rather than the router Vodafone supplies? This means configuring it to use PPPOE and VLAN 911.. Does it support this? (I can see how to change the Connection Type, but have no idea how to configure VLAN 911..)

I haven't tried myself since Verizon doesn't require it, but I would think the Networking tab, under VLAN tagging. Add a tag, probably on eth0, and tag number 911, priority 1. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. _________________ __________________________

Put it into your Startup Script.
You have not stated what build you are running. Tested with build R51855.
Hei Per,
I have finally been connected to Fibre, but I get this when I try to run the above commands:
Quote:
Unknown attribute "vid"
Also, the Login status for my PPPoE connection is showing as "Disconnected", and nothing happens when I press the Connect button.. Im not sure if this is related to the missing tagging?
swconfig dev switch0 set enable_vlan 1
swconfig dev switch0 vlan 2 set ports "0 5t"
swconfig dev switch0 vlan 2 set vid "101"
swconfig dev switch0 set apply
running this produces:
swconfig list
swconfig dev [port |vlan ] (help|set |get |load |show)
Unknown attribute "vid"
------------------------
I changed the third line to:
swconfig dev switch0 vlan 2 set 101 (removed "vid"), and it runs without any errors)
However the router does not connect.. Status on the WAN page is still "disconnected"
Just in case it matters... I know I initially opened this in the Atheros forum, but I am currently testing it on the Broadcom router, are the commands different?
And on Broadcom routers you can set this conveniently and easily in the GUI.
in the tab "switch config" you rename VLAN2 to VLAN101 and set VLAN101 to tagged
in the tab "networking" you change the "WAN Port Assignment" also to VLAN101.
Then just check that VALN101 is "unbridged".
(assuming you are using an up to date build)
and even on the r7800 it works via GUI setting (but it is a bit more complicated and you have to set a bit more on the r7800)

keep in mind that you need a version >r51937 on the r7800.
In earlier versions the "switch config" tab was broken (after using it you had no working LAN ports at all).
And in earlier versions you can't disable the "switch config" tab after you clicked once on apply.
and you need a WLAN connection to configure it (better safe than sorry)
I wish I read your post before venturing down the past up setting up the R7800.. Like you said, no longer any LAN ports..
When you say you need WLAN connection to configure it, what do you mean? To get the new binary, or to actually be able to upgrade the DD-WRT to something newer? (I have a secondary internet connection, so can download bin and perhaps upload over WIFI? Is that an option)..
I have upgraded to r51887 now.
