For a few days now, I am trying to set up my AC-66U as a wireless access point. What I want to achieve, seems simple...

Switch -> Trunk (VLAN 40, 42, 44) -> RT-AC66U (Port 1) -> Map the VLAN's to the respective wireless networks.

I would like to map VLAN40 (LAN) to the 3 remaining switchports (untagged) as well. Doing this I disable the DHCP server and assign br0 to VLAN40 (removing the current ones).

However, as soon as I remove vlan1 and vlan2 from br0 (and add vlan40 to it), all the network traffic drops. I did a tcpdump (serial console), and no traffic showed up.

I took the example from the wiki, this is the result:

Code:
echo "" > /proc/switch/eth0/vlan/0/ports
echo "" > /proc/switch/eth0/vlan/1/ports
echo "" > /proc/switch/eth0/vlan/2/ports
echo "1t 2 3 4 5t*" > /proc/switch/eth0/vlan/40/ports
echo "1t 5t" > /proc/switch/eth0/vlan/42/ports
echo "1t 5t" > /proc/switch/eth0/vlan/44/ports
/sbin/ifconfig vlan1 down
/sbin/vconfig rem vlan1
/sbin/ifconfig vlan2 down
/sbin/vconfig rem vlan2
/sbin/vconfig add eth0 40
/sbin/ifconfig vlan40 up
/sbin/ifconfig vlan40 txqueuelen 0
/sbin/vconfig add eth0 42
/sbin/ifconfig vlan42 up
/sbin/ifconfig vlan42 txqueuelen 0
/sbin/vconfig add eth0 44
/sbin/ifconfig vlan44 up
/sbin/ifconfig vlan44 txqueuelen 0
/usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 vlan40


What is the problem here?

VLAN40 seems correctly mapped to the switchports.
VLAN40 seems correctly added to br0.
VLAN40 (the interface) seems up.
There are no firewall rules in place.

After 2 days of extensive testing and trying, I am literally clueless...

I don't know what you're trying to say with this. As mentioned I did read the article you mentioned and I even took the vlan setup commands from it. But still, it doesn't work and I have no clue.

The device supports VLAN (and trunking), as I managed got it working with FreshTomato. However, due to inferior WiFi support, I tried DD-WRT which gave me the full speed.

Your post doesn't seem to imply you read the first article linked in it's entirety.

Is there a reason you cannot keep the VLANs in the range 1-15?

Sorted this one out. Encountered another problem, will post in a new topic.

The catch was I used port '5' instead of '8' for the CPU.
