Commands used in this video:
nvram show | grep vlan.*ports [To show the current VLANs + Ports]
nvram set vlan1ports="0 1 2 5*" [To remove port 3 (external port 4) from VLAN 1]
nvram set vlan2ports="3 4 5" [To add port 3 (external port 4) to VLAN2]
nvram commit [To save the configuration]**
reboot [To reboot the router]
** If the new VLAN settings did not save after the reboot (in Tomato firmware) then I would also add this line before the nvram commit:
nvram set manual_boot_nv=1
nvram commit
reboot
-Only Broadcom based devices support port-based VLAN's
-The CPU Internal port number might be 8 for some wireless routers

wow, your video literally saved my TP link router from being thrown away...
Thank you very much.
which custom firmware did you use for tp link router ? please help
how do you do that brother ? can you please tell me ?
Good video! My E1200 had its WAN port killed by lightning, and this video helped me restore it to usable state, thanks!
Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you liked this video and it was useful for you! :-)
Thanks a lot. You saved my Linksys router from being thrown away
You're very welcome! I'm glad this video was useful for you :-)
Dude, that is actually really cool. I am studying for my network+ certification rn, and I didn't know that routers use 2vlan(one for lan and another for wan) good to know.
Awesome videos they have helped with improving my home network keep up what your doing.
Awesome! I'm glad you like my videos and they were helpful :-)
Thank you very much ,didn't knew clan is only difference between wan and LAN port,thanks👍
You're very welcome, glad this was useful :-)
Brother, U r awesome, I have cisco E900, u saved my money for new router. Hats off to you..:)
That's really good :-) I'm very glad this video was helpful to you! Thanks :-)
what did you do with the E900? did you just make the WAN into a LAN?
@@redshift3639 yes.... its working smoothly.. just follow steps as per video.
Thank you
Very useful video. Helped me understand the difference between the WAN and LAN ports
You remind me of electroboom
very informative thanks a lot from the beginner
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks! great video, it educated me a bit more on how the vlan works. Keep up the good work! Also I guess this could work on openwrt as well
Thank you so much! I'm very glad you liked this video :-)
please teach about load balancing and combining two or more ISPs using custom firmware
Thanks for the suggestion. I have a video showing that using the asuswrt firmware, but hopefully I can do that using custom firmware too. Thanks.
Like this video? heh....
I freaking *LOVE* this video.
Haha... Very happy to hear that 😁👍
1:11 And now PS5 has become reality
Could you make a video showing how to turn the WAN port into a regular LAN port? Basically, i would like to use the whole device as a managed switched with the "WAN" port acting as a trunked/tagged switch port running to another device.
Very interesting. Thanks!!
Thanks! :-)
بارك الله فيك يا اخي العزيز
I changed the port 4 to a wan port but it still doesn't work. It says not internet . (Linksys e900)
You rea genius!!! Thnx a lot!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked this :-)
@@Behfor pls don't stop making videos . Viva Persia!!!
Thank you so much
You're very welcome 🙂
My Linksys router's internet port (model EA6350) is not working. How change one of my LAN port to internet port. Tomato doesn't support my model. Same model is not in the supported list. Kindlt advise.
What cat cable is for the ethernet
I personally use at least CAT 6
Excellent bro you are really brilliant
very informative!
So do you have to match the vlan port select in the gui and cli? Which one takes precedence? I tried a more complicated setup on an netgear router from the gui and got mixed results when adding more vlans. I even got locked out when trying to assign one of the ports for trunk. I am at the point were I am going to reset the router and try the cli approach, but i have noticed that changes made to vlan in cli do not show up in the gui. Luckily i have a small cisco router, might just give up on the idea of trying to impose super power abilities to my cheap router. For everything else, tomato, ddwrt & openwrt have been great. Most important, learned so much trying to make things work. Thanks for your video.
Can it be done in tplink tl-wr841hp v1 ??
Hi
Can you confirm if we can convert ADSL wired router into wireless router by performing any changes, is it possible if yes can you share the stepswise operation
Hi, it is not possible to turn a wired router into a wireless router, obviously the hardware is different! It would be like turning a car into an air plane!
@@Behfor cant v just the mail internet cable in Rj45 and connect wireless antenna to usb port to broadcast signal
my Dlink DIR-600M H/W ver-C1 this version isn't available in neither tomato nor DDwrt.Any Solution??
Hi ive followed all of the steps above and my lan port is now a wan port but ive lost the possibility of usin 2.4ghz help please!
I have dlink dir-615 version t1 router how can i change lan to wan port
My router netgear. How can i do it? Please help
What we should do if our router is not supported?
what is an access point? and how do i make an old router without any hookups into just wireless lan because a normal router does that but it also does wifi. like i just want to use a router to play minecraft java but i want it without using either net
I have 2 different modems/ routers which are having both LTE connectiuon.
Can i connect them into one?
Plz tell me can you replace and fix the wan rj11 of the router
Thank you sir...just a question. If on a my second router.. on the wan interface I put DHCP instead PPPoE.. what is the real difference (just double NAT)? Is it a problem? I did so because ISP doesn't allow me that
Great and entertaining video! But not quite what I was looking for. I want internet in my garage but want it to be secured since I cant look the door. So I tought, what about wirelessbridge two tomat-routers and use a second dhcp server in the garage, - so that the IP`s given to my garage device is like 10.0.0.X and my house use it`s own dhcp which has 192.168.0.X. Offcourse the garage router has to get on the internet trough 192.168.0.X, but from 10.0.0.X IP`s. Anyone know what setup I am serching for?
could I add a second ISP to LAN port and do link aggregation? Simply put can i pick an LAN aggregation supported LAN ports and give 2 WAN connections from same ISP?
I haven't done that with any third party firmware but I know you can use dual wan with DD-WRT. If that's what you are looking for, then the following links might be helpful for you:

@@Behfor Thank You Behfor - This was crisp and clear. I may have a clarification question from your experience. Thanks again! :)
Hi I was not able to do the same with my TPLINK TD-W8968 device. Could you suggest how do I flush the ROM?
I accidentally changed PPPOE password in router configuration... Now I'm not getting internet... It's showing DNS problem...
Earlier password was not known to me but it's 5 digit (5 dots are there)....
Wat should I do now to get internet...
Plz help
I have a Tenda N300, it gets stuck while installing the firmware for Tomato. I have tried all the firmwares available for tenda routers on the Tomato website. Please help if you see this.
I got two dsl internet, and i was working with a modem + router with dd wrt, the router does have only 1 Wan, is it possible to add some of the lan ports to convert to a second wan so i can have the two modems connected to the same router ? the router is an old tl wn740N . thanks in advance
Video is good as good
Does this mean a modem can connect to the wan1 and a second router can receive wan from the converted wan port ?
Greetings to you. When using NAT, does the internal ip of the router have to be linked to the mac ip address of the router in order for it to appear to the world?
Hey there great video. Would just like to ask though, is it possible to change the vlans on a Netgear WNR1000 v3 Router using the dd-wrt firmware?
Saviour thanks
You're welcome I'm glad it helped 👍
I have factory reset my router n network reset my pc... Now I'm not getting internet...
Wat to do
Can i do this on tenda router
good day...i have a router that is intended only for sim use,can you please teach me how to do the same on your video to my router???my router brand is huawei b593...thank you very much
Can I do this on tp link wr940n ?
genius!
I have a question are these ports are post light up ?
On 22 jun 2019 I tried to install both "dd-wrt" & "tomato" in Asus RT AC-68U, Sadly I become failure. it said invalid file type. can you upload a latest firmware version download link for "tomato" or "dd-wrt".
best regards...
I have this exact problem. Except it's on a RT-AC88U. I have no idea how to get into the settings or if that alone would fix the problem. Would that fix my problem? If so, can you tell me how to get into my settings? If not, would I have to do what you did in this video? I lack the knowledge necessary, but I don't know how to get into my settings unless it's connected to the internet like normal.
nvm, me and my fam tried a lot of things and we now believe that it has been bricked. Honestly, we had it working earlier and already using a LAN port as a WAN already, but I did a firmware update thinking it'd be okay. After the update, just seems to have bricked..
Hei, how can I access my router remotely? While I'm in away from home?
The routers usually have a feature called web access from WAN or something like and when it is enabled you can access the router using the public IP address of the router to connect (or DDNS if it is configured) when you are outside. This method is not very secure though! What I actually do myself is to use a VPN connection to my network which puts me virtually on my network and then connect to the router using it's local IP address, but this method required to have a VPN server configured.
Can you upload a tutorial for how to set up VPN server? I've NordVPN.
I actually have a video about setting up an OpenVPN server on Asus routers : th-cam.com/video/KXdhhuBcpgU/w-d-xo.html
If you get the message that this router has a private wan IP address, then you are experiencing something called Double NAT! In order to have a functional VPN server your server should either have a Public IP address so it can be reachable from the outside, or the device upstream the server which has the public IP address should do port forwarding so when it receives the VPN request it can forward it to the VPN server. I actually might make a video about it. Thanks
سلام داداش خسته نباشید من یه مشکلی با نت تایپ مودمم دارم میخوام از ۳ به ۲ تغییرش بدم شما میتونید کمکم کنید؟
Will this work on switch so you can change a port on a switch to a WAN port or does this only work on routers?
What kind of a switch?! it's a router that has and need a WAN port not a switch!!
wish u saw this video 18 years ago -_-
genius
Ps5?? Its true
CAN YOU HELP ME.I WANT TO USE DEVICE(PRINTER,PLC ....) OUTSIDE NETWORK.DEVICES(KNOW IP) > ROUTER(KNOW IP)> INTERNET
Hi first of all thanks a lot. You saved my tplink tl-wr841n router.
But I have one problem that now I can't use my desktop through wired connection though all the wifi devices are working fine. How to solve lan problem????
Does it work with iball?
That will depend on whether it is supported by tomato firmware or not. I checked their website and unfortunately I cannot see any iball there!
*PS5!?*
100 درصد مطمئنم ایرانی هستی خخخخ
My ports were with vlan0 and vlan1 i changed them like on the video and whem i type the command to show the ports nothing shows
