R9000 - WAN VLAN Setting
Hello Community! I posted this problem days ago in the Italian Community but no "reasonable" answer received. So I'm trying here :) In Italy if you need to use your Router with Fastweb (Italian IS...
Unfortunately it doesn't work.

I didn't succeeded in configure it, and I have "some" competences in it.

(All the other routers, also the cheapest ones, have it).
I'd post about that over in the DD-WRT forums. Someone there may have more help and information regarding this and DD-WRT.

Pretty impossible to understand the answers.
What I understood is that R9000 has a "strange" hw internal switching configuration.

And this complicates a lot the VLAN / forwarding configuration. I tried several options but nothing worked, but my fault for sure.
In those forums there are ENGINEERS with HUGE competences.
Too high for my understanding.
