The way I have it works exactly how I want. I was hoping I didnt' need two ports to do this. I should be able to do it with one port. (1xport routing untagged packets and VLAN5 packet)
But it is unclear in the Webui can be set up that way.
So the real question is:
can the DDWRT route untagged packets and tagged packets on a single port?
yes its possible so you want port 3 to have a default ip of 192.168.1.1 (or any you want)(untagged) and vlan 5 tagged with an ip of 192.168.3.1(or any you want)(tagged) then on whatever device you want to give that tag packed you say vlan id of 5 and should give you the dhcp of the 192.168.3.1 if you follow my guide
I want to have port 4 to route untagged and VLAN5 packets and only port 4
I looked at your guide.. the only difference is that you also left VLAN1 tagged. That's the only difference I can see between your guide and how I have set it up on my side.
I will give it a whirl with VLAN1 also tagged in port 4 and disconnect port 3... but I think I have tried that once. But I will try it again
vlan 1 (port 1,2,3,4) (UNTAGGED in a matter of speaking) is bridged to lan which means what ever device connects to that port will give me the default ip which in my case is 192.168.1.1. What you want is to ONLY tag port 4 with vlan 5? That means you connect a device to port 4 and on that device you say the vlan id is 5 so then that device will get the ip (192.168.13.1 or whatever you want it to be). And you can still use port 4 untagged as long as you dont add the vlan id on the other device. Or the photo you posted up with the ddwrt vlan is that the way you want it? IF SO you need to put the check on port 3 (vlan 1) then follow the bridge table in the guide.
*and dont use the vlan tag section in the networking part*

Sorta... I have a TP-Link SG2424 switch in between. so the 2nd AP device is actually on the SG2424 port 7 (first picture)
The switch part is working fine. I just want to not have to use the extra port 3. I know I don't have to cause with other enterprise router I know how to do it. I am just so confused with the DDWRT interface.
Cause in my mind... the way DDWRT is presenting itself in the GUI is that if I put a check mark on "Tagged". And I checkmarked VLAN1 and VLAN5 on Port 4, everything from Port 4 is accepted only for VLAN1 and VLAN5 tags.(that would be the logical assumption).
UNLESS... DDWRT accept untagged packets in all ports regardless
ohhh so in that case your interface is good just try the bridge table.So all you want is to create a port (3) that has 192.168.13.1 with vlan id 5. But you cant check vlan 1 because it has the other ports choose another vlan id. remember to get internet on that port you have to add the ip firewall rules in the guide. let me know if it works.
if im still not understanding is it possible to make a diagram? maybe that will also help others.

LMFAO... I might have to do that... I seriously think in my case I need to involve the VLAN Tagging in the Network tab. But I am EVEN MORE confused with that GUI.
One of these days when I have time at home I have to really figure DDWRT's way of handling VLAN.
My understand right now is that the VLAN tab just tells which port when a tagged packet is allowed through.
But where in the interface does it actually TAG packets?
Most modern device allow you to tag packets that is going out of it.
Example, any modern NIC in allows you to tag the packets that is being sent out... and higher end APs allow multiple VLAN packets tagged going out ONE port.
I don't "SEE" that in the DDWRT GUI.. unless it's the Setup/Networking/VLAN Tag part.
The confusing part about that is where it say "VLAN 0 Interface". If you keep adding, the # increase.. but does it reference to the actual VLAN0 and VLAN1 and so on? or does it mean a "Self" placement Interface 0 and Interface 1 and so on. Or does it mean a PVID?
IDK... it is sooo confusing.....
Like I said, I wanted to "learn" how DDWRT works, what I did was just a "workaround".
If anyone else can give me an insight as how the interface translate to say a CISCO.. please do tell.
If a device is connected to a port 1-9, it will be on vlan1 and on vlan5 if connected on port 10-19
Both vlans will be truncded with tags between the switch and the router.
on the SG2424, VLAN1 is ALL untagged by default. Because well, as you know most devices including PC are untagged packets
I have an AP (Netgear) that support multi-BSSID. the first SSID is the main LAN which is UNTAGGED
the 2nd BSSID is tagged VLAN5
on the Switch VLAN5 is only tagged PVID 5 on port 24 (DDWRT) and port 7 (NetGear AP). Rest of the ports is set to untagged.
this works perfectly. Computers/servers/clients with untagged packets can see each other fine. and the tagged VLAN5 is separated and can't see "VLAN1".
The DDWRT is able to send DHCP to both untagged clients and then DHCP on "br1" can be send to those clients.
My REAL question is.. HOW to configure that without using 2 wires to and from the DDWRT and the switch. I have done this before with Sonicwalls, Cisco routers..etc.. but not with a DDWRT router.
