I'm still trying to figure this out and would realy aooreciate some help/feedback
So far...
After a LOT of reading up from various places I found this diagram:
which started me trying to understand the architecture of my overly complex ac87u, or so I thought...
Anyway armed with this I tried making some changes to your initial steps:
nvram set vlan1ports="1 5 7*”
nvram set vlan2ports="0 7u"
nvram set vlan3ports=“2 7t"
nvram set vlan4ports=“3 7t"
nvram set port5vlans="1 2 3 5 16"
nvram set port0vlans="2"
nvram set port1vlans="1"
nvram set port2vlans=“3”
nvram set port3vlans=“4”
nvram set port4vlans=“1”
nvram set vlan1hwname=et1
nvram set vlan2hwname=et1
nvram set vlan3hwname=et1
nvram set vlan4hwname=et1
nvram commit
My thinking here was to avoid ports 1 and 4 as I'd read a lot of people having problems trying to do anything out of the ordinary with them.
Therefore I attached my Nas4Free to physical lan ports 2 & 3.
I thought the results were promising at this point:
although the vlan associations fo Lan2 and 3 weren't as I expected they both seemed to be connected to my Mas4Free, so.....
I soldiered on following what I thought were appropriate versions of your next steps to see what happened.
Unfortunately the result was not great:
(please see follow up next post as only able to attach 2 files each)
