I am using GL-AX1800 on the latest v4.2.1r4.
I have plugged-in the USB adapter, it could be recognized, and used as WAN.
I am trying to configure the router running in access point mode, while using the USB adapter as LAN port.
I have factory-reset the router.
After initialization, I have clicked “use WAN port as LAN”.
Nothing more is modified.
And then I have done the groupping of USB0 mentioned in the previos post.
By the way, I have found 2.4Ghz WIFI is not connectable when USB adapter is connected.
I have tried reset the router and played around with WIFI settings.
Simply unplugging the USB adapter 2.4Ghz WIFI works again.
Strange.
Since my last reply I decided to use GL-MT3000 instead of AX1800 for my 2.5gbps network.
However, WIFI speed with VLAN configured on MT3000 is horribly slow (around 1mbps).
So I am now trying to configure the USB adapter on AX1800 again.
My plan is to use the USB adapter as LAN interface and provide access to 5ghz WIFI.
I will use AXT1800 for 2.4ghz WIFI.
I have done a factory reset on AX1800.
Afterwards, I have deleted all interfaces and firewall zones.
Interfaces (on AX1800) are then recreated as follow:
Basically BR-USB and BR-LAN are same in configurations.
Trying to connect to “5Ghz” WIFI from my phone, it won’t be connected.
Even tried to manually assigned an IP, subnet mask, default gateway, it failed.
But connecting to “5Ghz-Guest” just worked well.
There was an IP assigned, and there was Internet access.
I highly suspect there is something hardcoded behind the scene.
So BR-USB does not work like BR-LAN.
“bond0” and “bonding_masters” are suspective.
How should I configure the USB adapter working as a LAN port as if it is a eth*?
i.e. I want usb0 to be eth5
