LAN2-5 as WAN?

Arelius · 2025-03-22T20:46:39.896Z

Hey, so can I set LAN2,3,4,5 (not all of them but at least one of them) as WAN port?

My reason for the purchase has been using the Flint 2's port 1 and 2 (WAN and WAN/LAN1) as LAN (only!) ports since they have 2.5Gbps...

...now that I have received the router and spend some time in both of the webui's... this seems to be impossible, and if that is the case please someone tell me so I can return this as soon as possible!

I always assumed this would be possible since its full OpenWrt support...

If you didn't need routing capacity and only wanted 2.5Gb ports, there are switches with those options better than this router.

To be able to work on OpenWRT, you would have to do it through cli or LuCi

ofc I need the routing capabilities..!(?)

Sorry if I wasn't 'clear' on that.. I just wish it would be done one some other port then "just" Port1/2 which are the only 2.5gb ports on Flint 2.

Yes Web-UI, LuCi and CLI, well I'm only using CLI.

Seems like no one knows how or if it can be done. Darn so disappointing. I truly thought this router was going to be the router that would convince me there would be something better then the toy ones from asus and tp-link and so on, boy I was wrong.

Hello,

Please execute the following command on SSH, set LAN3 (count from left to right, the first gigabit LAN) to WAN mode:

uci add_list firewall.cfg03dc81.network='thirdwan'
uci del_list network.cfg030f15.ports='lan2'
uci set network.thirdwan=interface
uci set network.thirdwan.proto='dhcp'
uci set network.thirdwan.device='lan2'

uci commit

/etc/init.d/firewall restart
/etc/init.d/network restart
