I have a GL-SFT1200 / Opal, with OpenWRT with Luci.
My ISP requires devices to be on VLAN101 to connect to their network. I managed to tag my wan with VLAN101 and connect to my ISP successfully.
From there I can ping 1.1.1.1 and ping google.com from my laptop, but seem to be unable to access the internet. HTTPS seems to not work, and curl https://google.com throws Network unreachable errors.
I have checked the firewall (all are to default values, the WAN has access and there are no rules blocking port 443), I have MTU clamping enabled for WAN.
Using the default router provided by the ISP works flawlessly, but I would much rather use my GLiNet one. So the problem must be with my settings on the OPAL. I have factory reset the OPAL before making any of the changes described above.
I’m curious, did you set the VLAN ID on the main GL GUI’s Internet page by tapping ‘Modify’ on the WAN port and setting the VLAN ID there, or did you set the VLAN ID on the Advanced LUCI GUI’s Network pages?

I couldn't find any VLAN settings on the main GUI page, so I went into Luci into Network switch and set the ID to 101 in there, then in Network interfaces set wan to use eth0.101.
I guess those settings would be the similar outcome using the Modify option on the Ethernet WAN port on main GL GUI’s Internet page.
My internet doesn’t work whenever I change routers connected to my ISP’s modem, so I have to power cycle the providers modem so that the new routers mac-address will then be accepted and work.
Perhaps your ISP is locking the internet connection to the mac-address of their router. Have you tried cloning their routers external mac-address to the WAN port of your Opal?
Hmm No I have not done that. They said that I could use my own router if I just vlan tagged it, and I first tried my router with the modem, then theirs, but I could try cloning their MAC. Is there a nice GLiNet or Openwrt way to assign a specific MAC to the router ?
I’m currently running the GL GUI version 4.7 on all of my GL devices that has a wrench ICON on the Internet page for the WAN port which takes me to the new Network Port Management page which shows the WAN mac-address with the options for Factory, Clone, or Random. Otherwise, the Advanced LUCI GUI Network/Interfaces/Devices tab has all of the ports listed which shows the mac-address on the individual ports pages.
I am running 4.3.6 and do not appear to have that option. But it would also be wierd if my ISP told me I could use my own equipment but then need me to clone the MAC of their router.
I have been in touch with GLiNet support and they talked about PPPOE, which then has a very clear field to enter a VLAN tag, but is also authenticated. I have no crenditials for it.
My ISP's guide only says (for popular commercial routers) to vlan tag to 101 and use dhcp. However, I think I might have misunderstood how to do this with OpenWrt.
