 |
Greetings,
I am having a hard time trying to setup IPTV on my Linksys EA6400 running DD-WRT v3.0-r27700 std (08/20/15)
I have checked https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/VLAN_Support
My router isn't on the list, however there is a menu in dd-wrt which allows setting it up and I managed to set up the IPTV. The problem is that it is either IPTV or Internet that works.
IPTV uses VLAN6
The default configuration looks like this
| Code: |
nvram show | grep vlan*.port | sort
vlan1ports=0 1 2 3 5*
vlan2ports=4 5
nvram show | grep port*.vlan | sort
port0vlans=2 18 19 21
port1vlans=1 18 19 21
port2vlans=1 18 19 21
port3vlans=1 18 19 21
port4vlans=1 18 19 21
port5vlans=1 2 16
nvram show | grep vlan*.hw | sort
vlan1hwname=et0
vlan2hwname=et0
|
The GUI basically shows what is described there.
| Code: |
WAN port is on VLAN2
PORTS 1,2,3,4 are on VLAN1
|
The internet works well with this configuration. But the IPTV, naturally, doesn't.
After i switch PORT 4 to be on VLAN6, the port connected to STB and setup WAN port tagging in the GUI i get.
GUI:
| Code: |
nvram show | grep vlan*.port | sort
vlan1ports=0 1 2 3 5*
vlan2ports=4 5
nvram show | grep port*.vlan | sort
port0vlans=2 6 16 18 19 21
port1vlans=1 18 19 21
port2vlans=1 18 19 21
port3vlans=1 18 19 21
port4vlans=6 18 19 21
port5vlans=1 2 6 16
nvram show | grep vlan*.hw | sort
vlan1hwname=et0
vlan2hwname=et0
|
As you may notice, the nvram is only partly changed. There are no signs of vlan6ports, vlan6hwname. But there is vlan 6 on port0,4,5.
What's surprising, the IPTV works, but the Internet is dead in this case. (DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET)
I've tried blocking multicast through ebtables on vlan1,2,eth1,eth2. But it had no effect.
I've tried unbridging eth1, it had no effect, same DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET.
I've also tried manually adding
| Code: |
vlan6ports=0 4 5
vlan6hwname=et0
|
without any success.
Even tried playing with
| Code: |
vlan6ports=0t 4 5
vlan1ports=0u 1 2 3 5
vlan6hwname=et0
|
but that didn't seem to help as well.
It appears the internet stops working when i turn tagging on. It doesn't matter how many vlans are selected, it can be vlan2 only and it would not work..
I am pretty much out of options and ideas now. The only thing that's left is that the router does not support that functionality, but I couldn't find information about that on the net.
Please help. 
P.S. In case it's not supported, would love to hear what dd-wrt router would you support for that case? (350 sqm house) |
