    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.

Thanks mansus I did find that. I think I'm just going to return the r7800 and get an asus rt-ac3200 similar specs and people have actually got it working with Centurylink and their wireless networks. It is mind boggling to me that a $230 router cannot handle a simple task of allowing wireless and wired networks to talk to each other. That is simply inexcusable.

well shoot. thanks for posting your experience with CL and Kong. I haven't had a chance to give it a go. I'll skip it now and not waste my time.

 

I may hook up my NAS via USB. Pain in the butt workaround but than nothing for now.

    Some new tests showed me that enabled VLAN-ID on the WAN interface is causing this issue.

    I'm in contact with Netgear Support now, if we can solve this issue I will inform you guys here.

      I recently bought a NAS and connected it to LAN however I'm not able to connect it from WIFI (ping works fine but nothing else HTTP/HTTPS/SMB)

        I'm in touch with Netgear support, but haven't heard anything since last week.

        Will give you information if I get some information.
