Hello,
I try to use this good old hw:
Router Model Linksys WRT54G/GL/GS v1.1
CPU Model Broadcom BCM5352 chip rev 0

as a router-only in my LAN and I have a hard time to config as I want it:

fix IP on LAN1 and just as a router for switches:

Port 1-3 access for LAN1 - (no tag)
Port 4 access for VLAN 117 - (no tag)
WAN port access for LAN1 (no tag) and trunk for VLAN 111 115 117 119 (tag)

after one day spent with old firmware:

Firmware Version DD-WRT v3.0-r44715 vpn (11/03/20)
Kernel Version Linux 2.4.37 #62645 Tue Nov 3 07:04:00 +03 2020 mips

using this data:
vlan.ports numbers = port.vlans
reference reference
0 = Physical port 4 = port4vlan = Physical port 4
1 = Physical port 3 = port3vlan = Physical port 3
2 = Physical port 2 = port2vlan = Physical port 2
3 = Physical port 1 = port1vlan = Physical port 1
4 = WAN = port0vlan = WAN port
5 = CPU internal = port5vlan = CPU
5* = CPU internal default

and unsuccessful to have a working config from cli:

nvram show | grep port.*vlans | sort
port0vlans=1 111 115 117 119
port1vlans=1
port2vlans=1
port3vlans=1
port4vlans=117
port5vlans=1 1 111 115 117 119 16

nvram show | grep vlan.*ports | sort
vlan0ports=3 2 1 5*
vlan111ports=4t 5t
vlan115ports=4t 5t
vlan117ports=0 4t 5t
vlan119ports=4t 5t
vlan1ports=4 5t

nvram show | grep vlan.*hwname | sort
vlan0hwname=et0
vlan1hwname=et0
vlan111hwname=et0
vlan115hwname=et0
vlan117hwname=et0
vlan119hwname=et0
I flashed latest std and vpn firmware:

Firmware VersionDD-WRT v3.0-r60467 vpn (03/24/25)
Kernel VersionLinux 2.4.37 #78292 Mon Mar 24 04:52:36 +07 2025 mips

in the hope that I will have a graphical interface which will easy the job but I am missing CPU port display as per some tutorials I found , and of course I did not solve it yet.

It is normal not to have displayed CPU in graphical interface for this old hw ?[/url]

thank you

What you want to configure a trunkport that has both tagged and untagged vlan is not possible via GUI anyway.

As far as I know, the switch/VLAN GUI no longer works on the boxes.

I have no interest in fiddling with 22 year old eltro junk.

Have you reset to default?

Looks like leftovers from old builds.

OK so at least it is clear that is no point to try the cli config on this hw.

yes I reset it.
That data I posted was saved in my workbook when it had old firmware.

edit:
It is easy to install a vbox router and use that one than lose a lot of time with this one without proper doc.

Switch Config tab does not work with these routers. I wasted a lot of time trying to make vlans work on a WRT54GLv1.1 to no avail. If you really need to use vlans on this old hardware, your best bet is to use Fresh Tomato. It works well and easy setup.

Thank you for tip I will try later.

Now I am testing vyos on vbox, configured in 10 min and testing now, I hope it is what I want.
