GL-AR750 Independent Lan ports?

Technical Support for Routers

Are the lan ports on the 750 independent? I’m thinking about getting one of these and using one of the lan ports as a second wan port with mwan3.

yes you can do that. You can configure vlan so that each port can work independently

Great that helps a lot, thanks.

Hello Nmos - are you successful in setting up mwan3 with 2 ISPs on AR750?

any issues?

It is not difficult. All you need to do is to modify this file /etc/config/network

Try this guide to modify the files using winscp.SSH to the router - GL.iNet Docs

eth0 is the WAN port.
eth1 is the switch which has two LAN port. You need to configure vlan to use the two port separately.

To configure vlan, modify the following sections

config interface 'wan'
  option ifname 'eth0'
  option proto 'dhcp'
  option metric '10' #import, to make mwan3 work, add this

config switch_vlan  
  option  device switch0
  option vlan '1'
  option ports '1 0t'

Add the following sections as new.
Note, we use the middle Ethernet port as a seconds WAN port.

config interface 'wan2'  #note, this section should be added
  option ifname 'eth1.2'
  option proto 'dhcp'
  option metric '15' #import, to make mwan3 work, add this

config switch_vlan  
  option  device switch0
  option vlan '2'
  option ports '2 0t'

Thanks Champ

another question: To use router in AP / bridge mode, just toggle the switch is enough? do I need some additional config to create bridge and use toggle (Right left button)?

You need to set up the toggle function in the UI first.

Please note because you have custom settings and this may break the original settings.
