I have Verizon’s FIOS internet + TV and would like to daisy chain my WRTSL54GS to the Verizon provided Actiontec router using the SL54’s WAN port. I have read the wiki on how to configure the WAN port as a LAN port and have no problem doing that. My question is do I need to configure anything else to have my WRT54SLGS to act as a switch like possibly turning of NAT etc?

Thanks in advance,

Andy

Why are you trying to reconfigure the WAN port as a LAn port?

So I can save as many LAN ports as possible. I have 6 hardwired systems now and will be adding more later.


Thanks,

Andy

Hello Andy

Here are the cmds to set the WRTSL54GS as a switch:

                nvram set wan_proto=none                                                                           
                nvram set wan_dhcp_enabled=0                                                                         
                nvram set vlan1ports="5"                                                                           
                nvram set vlan0ports="0 1 2 3 4 5u"                                                                 
                nvram set lan_ifnames="eth0 eth1 eth2"
                chmod -x /etc/init.d/S35firewall
                chmod -x /etc/init.d/S52ez-ipupdate                                                                   
                chmod -x /etc/init.d/S50dnsmasq                                                                     

Note: This is only for the WRTSL54GS as the other WRT54x use different interface names.
