R7800 wireless clients cannot connect to lan clients
Hello, I have the latest firmware 1.0.2.04 on R7800 and have an issue where my wifi client cannot access servers on lan on the same router. I found suggestions about firmware resets and turning o...
evel I'm using Kong Mod from myopenrouter.com. It's a straightforward process on how to replace the firmware (just look at the latest article). For VLAN tagging, you'll need to create a VLAN on eth0 (default WAN) interface (Setup->Networking) and assign a newly created port as WAN port on the same page. Once you're online - you can easily do the rest (wifi, services, etc). WIFI->LAN works right away.
Thx, Mansus.
I'll give the reset a try since it's a new firmware now. I'll report back when I'm done.
Hello All,
I have to say that I'm very dissapointed with the quality of Netgear support. The original issue was never resolved by the support after 2 months. So I decided to give DD-WRT a try and guess what? Everything works (VLAN, OpenVPN server, QoS). So if you still struggle with the issue of the Netgear firmware, I would recommend give DD-WRT a try.
Thx, Mansus.
The connection by the engineers was not helpful, they tested a ping and said "look, it's working, so what's your problem?".
So I gave DD WRT another chance. I had some time to test it again and I got VLAN on WAN on DD WRT working!
Here is how I did it for VLAN 3201:
You have to create the VLAN-Tag on eth0 via webinterface and then you have to set a nvram-variable by hand.
I succeeded with creating eth0.3201, choosing it as WAN-interface and then setting "pppoe_wan_ifname" via SSH manually to eth0.3201.
Commands for this are:nvram set pppoe_wan_ifname=eth0.3201 nvram commit
Fixing this issue was taking too long so i asked Netgear support for refund or device replacement.
They sent me X6 R8000. And it seems that R8000 doesn't have this VLAN bug. I was able to connect to NAS from Wireless network with both VLAN active.
I will keep testing it however i higly recommend you all to open private cases with Netgear.
Thanks.
