I searched on internet and most of the examples for this router in /etc/config/network are
#### VLAN configuration
config switch eth0
option vlan0 "0 1 2 3 5*"
option vlan1 "4 5".......
#### LAN configuration
config interface lan
option type bridge
option ifname "eth0.0"
option proto static
option ipaddr 192.168.1.1
option netmask 255.255.255.0
.........
My question is about the LAN, why the bridge includes only eth0.0? Shouldn't it include wl0(the wireless) as part of the bridge? Thanks
This is done in /etc/config/wireless, IIRC. The wireless.@wifi-iface[0].network=lan option bridges the wireless nic to the lan network defined in /etc/config/network.

I see 
So it actually doesn't matter if one writes
option ifname "eth0.0"
or
option ifname "eth0.0 wl0"
Because I saw wiki article for wl-500w uses the later one.
Thanks.
option ifname "eth0.0 wl0"
Because I saw wiki article for wl-500w uses the later one.
No idea what side effects this has. I just know that using /etc/config/wireless is the correct way of doing this.

I read this article
http://wiki.openwrt.org/oldwiki/openwrt … sus/wl500w
and you can see it uses the later configuration. I have been using it for a while on my wl-500w(already dead for some other reason) and it looks working well.
Thanks
The discussion might have continued from here.
