Network Interfaces

By default WRT54G v1.x use the 4702.et driver which handles VLAN tags internally and exposes the LAN switch as eth0 and the WAN interface as eth1.

WRT54G v2 exposes the 5-port Ethernet switch as eth0 using VLANs (id 0 for the internal LAN and id 1 for the WAN interface).

WRT54G v1.x devices can also be switched to VLAN mode, but it uses VLAN id 2 for the internal LAN. The following settings can be used to switch the WRT54G v1.x to VLAN mode:

  • vlan1hwname=et0
  • vlan2hwname=et0
  • lan_ifnames=vlan2 eth2 eth3 eth4
  • wan_ifnames=vlan1
  • wan_ifname=vlan1
  • use_vlan_et=1
