Hi. I'm trying to setup VLANs I was using this guide mentioned in another post [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/qeuZqRqH-ug/maxresdefault.jpg "VLANs in OpenWrt 21") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeuZqRqH-ug) I've enabled vlan filtering in the lan-bridge ![image](https://forum-static.gl-inet.com/original/3X/1/0/10f1a103bb450abb33806b2fb501fa740b6be893.png) VLAN 1 supposed to be my lan Then I switched lan interface to br-lan.1 ![image](https://forum-static.gl-inet.com/original/3X/5/6/5692d5a66a5c7c5d5e2c6de96ec8aa39bd738110.png) Wired connection works just fine, but wireless stops working (unable to get ip from DHCP or ping lan when ip set manually) What have I missed? ---

I have VLANs working on the native GL Firmware. Instead of doing it the way it is described in the video, I left the LAN interface on the ‘br-lan’ bridge device, and just checkmarked the ‘br-lan.1’ VLAN to be a bridge port member of the ‘br-lan’ bridge device so that I had an untagged native management VLAN for my managed switches. I then checkmarked the other ‘br-lan.#’ VLANs I created as a bridge port member on other bridges, like br-guest and br-IOT which are assigned to other LAN interface networks. I then tagged those VLANs on the LANx ports of the ‘br-lan’ bridge device where my managed switches are connected so that I could put wired devices connected to my managed switches on the different IP networks. ---

> [@hitriy](#): > > but wireless stops working (unable to get ip from DHCP or ping lan when ip set manually) > What have I missed? Can you show which interface is assigned on the wireless settings in luci? It needs to be interface **lan** , not br-lan.1 or br-lan. Since the vlan isn't a newly created interface this should work, on new interfaces the firewall zone input needs to be set to accept. the interface lan has a child vlan device br-lan.1, hostapd/wifi always require a bridge to hook into or a child device from the bridge (a vlan device), the only thing I see you are missing is the **keep up bridge** checkbox being checked. When you are done, also on the wireless part, restart the router because the MTK SDK is buggy on the luci part and sometimes only works properly after a restart. From the vlan stanza I don't see really a issue. What you want to avoid though: creating vlans on br-lan, and then mixing br-lan.x in a different bridge, the developers did not intend this, and it is not known how deep in the kernel it could break potential things it all comes down how well it is implemented in OpenWrt. I also readed what some people on the OpenWrt forums said you only want one bridge to handle vlans and nothing more, given that a router often only has one switch cpu, although it works it kinda makes sense. Though I did not experience strange symptoms especially with the first one, but it makes sense, it is very likely it now works and once in a sudden this breaks and results into looping. ---

Thanks to all who replied. It was wireless adapter bug indeed. Reboot helped ---

Could you share a photo of your vlan in luci? ---

This is the way I setup my VLAN’s on the version 4.7x firmware. > **[Issues with VLAN's and Guest Wifi](https://forum.openwrt.org/t/issues-with-vlans-and-guest-wifi/223002/3)** > > I did something similar on my Flint 2 MT6000 which has extended the Guest interface network to my connected managed switch devices. But, I had to create the br-guest bridge device correctly in the /etc/config/network file and change the Guest... Also, be mindful of this apparent bug in the LUCI GUI when applying VLAN settings on the br-lan bridge device. Whenever I modify any settings on the br-lan bridge device, I have to ensure that the ‘Enable VLAN Filtering’ checkbox is not checked or it kills the br-lan network. > [@New firmware version 4.7 being released for beta testing](https://forum.gl-inet.com/t/new-firmware-version-4-7-being-released-for-beta-testing/47616/486): > > @bruce I have 4.7 on the Flint 2 and the ‘Enable VLAN Filtering’ checkbox is confusing to me. I think this is related to what @miraben was discussing earlier in this thread about VLAN filtering. Whenever I edit the ‘br-lan’ interface that has some VLANs configured, it automatically puts a checkmark in the ‘Enable VLAN Filtering’ box for the bridge device. When I apply the changes with the checkbox checked, it kills the br-lan network and I have to wait 90 seconds for the changes to be reverted.… I’ve changed a few things since I first configured it so these screenshots don’t exactly match what I wrote up. ![IMG_0275](https://forum-static.gl-inet.com/original/3X/e/6/e639d79a3d66e2caa8023159d3ab63c776ff8f47.jpeg) ![IMG_0270](https://forum-static.gl-inet.com/original/3X/5/a/5a7941e5dfe3138892e4cfc7a0d638ae185e5a71.jpeg) ![IMG_0271](https://forum-static.gl-inet.com/original/3X/b/1/b1e352b1105f24b6ca47c318d028c94634f006f2.jpeg) ![IMG_0272](https://forum-static.gl-inet.com/original/3X/b/d/bd1eb417c4bb6013bc7034836f9c89efda484e08.jpeg) ![IMG_0273](https://forum-static.gl-inet.com/original/3X/a/f/af5163ab0e46a08b054748b34c356b4cb3da3fdc.jpeg) ---

Wow, that is an interesting way of doing it. I may try that configuration for my needs later. Thank you for sharing. ---
