Hi there,
Today, I flashed OpenWrt on my http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr1043nd. And now, it looks like I am unable to configure the WAN interface correctly. In the "Status" page, it is marked as "not connected".
The WAN status LED blinks the same speed as it did with the original firmware.
According to the hardware documetnation, the WAN port is eth0.0. So I reconfigured the physical sttings (originally it was set to eth0.2), but no success.
My internet connection is a cable modem. The provider is Kabel-BW (germany). I don't know the exact name of the used technology. But I can say it acts like a LAN connection: I can just plug the PC directly to the modem and it just works without any settings other than having a DHCP client.
These are my current settings:
Protocol [DHCP client]
Hostname to send when requesting DHCP [OpenWrt]
Bring up on boot [X]
Use broadcast flag [ ]
Use default gateway [X]
Use DNS servers advertised by peer [X]
Use gateway metric [0]
Client ID to send when requesting DHCP []
Vendor Class to send when requesting DHCP []
Override MAC address [some MAC address]
Override MTU [1500]
[X] creates a bridge over specified interface(s)
[ ] Enable STP
Interface
[ ] Ethernet Switch: "eth0"
[X] VLAN Interface: "eth0.0" (wan)
[ ] VLAN Interface: "eth0.1" (lan)
[ ] VLAN Interface: "eth0.2"
[ ] Wireless Network: Master "OpenWrt" (lan)
[ ] Custom Interface: []
What did I do wrong ?
HOWTO configure the TL-WR1043ND for cable modem ?
Thanks and Regards,
Markus
