Simple way using LuCI to convert WAN port to LAN?

Hi there,

This is exactly what I’d like to do. I want to set my GL-MT300Nv2 up to be a wired access point and also a print server all on my main LAN. So, I’d like to plug my ethernet wire into one of the ethernet ports, printer into the USB port and then have the second ethernet port (currently the WAN) as a spare to be able to plug a NAS into.

I copied alzhao’s switch_mode script into the /bin directory and ran it but it didn’t seem to work for me:

root@GL-MT300N-V2:/bin# switch_mode

Please specify mode: router or bridge

udhcpc: started, v1.25.1

udhcpc: sending discover

udhcpc: no lease, failing

Note that it ran without any input from me.

Any pointers please (also I followed the guide in the link provided by 800718 but no luck there also).

So, basically, just a simple way to turn the WAN port into a LAN port identical to the other LAN port…
