So this is two different bug reports. The first is preventing me from doing what you suggest – upgrading firmware on the AP mode router and configuring VLANs within the UI. The bug is, any changes to network settings are met with Internal Server Error, and firmware upgrades time out / fail to resolve. If 2.8.0 for sure resolved these issues over 2.7.8, I will just need a way to pull the firmware file (possibly from my primary router which is on 2.8.0) and I’ll upgrade it manually.

The second bug seems to relate to VLAN tagging on my AP router LAN ports. I have it set up as you suggest, the only tagged port is the one being fed from the primary router. Linux devices plugged into the other LAN ports cannot talk to the primary router or the internet – and I believe it has to do with the network config not properly assigning VLAN tags to the packets coming in from those interfaces (in this case VLAN 10 for the default LAN). The config above did not work (I ended up figuring out how to persist my changes due to the first issue above) but I suspect it’s on the right track.

Sent a couple days ago. Might have figured it out but having trouble persisting changes to /etc/config/network (uci seems to take it but it keeps reverting. I have had 3 devices plugged into the AP LAN ports – two linux based (TrueNAS and fresh Ubuntu 24.04) and a Windows 10 box. The Windows box can reach the GW and the internet, not the linux devices. Anyway, I’m naive with VLAN tagging but Gemini suggested this – which would hopefully fix connectivity with devices plugged into LAN ports – that still leaves the issue of being unable to edit AP mode router settings or update firmware.

Current Configuration:

config bridge-vlan
option device ‘eth-lan’
option vlan ’10’
list ports ‘eth3:t*’ # Tagged (Trunk) port
list ports ‘eth2’ # Untagged (Access) port – NO PVID
list ports ‘eth1’ # Untagged (Access) port – NO PVID

Proposed Configuration:

config bridge-vlan
option device ‘eth-lan’
option vlan ’10’
list ports ‘eth3:t*’ # eth3: Tagged (Trunk) port – sends/receives tagged
list ports ‘eth2:u*’ # eth2: Access port – untagged egress/ingress
list ports ‘eth1:u*’ # eth1: Access port – untagged egress/ingress
option pvid ’10’ # Set PVID 10 for all listed UNTAGGED ports (eth1, eth2)

Yes please! Primary router 2.8.0, AP mode router 2.7.8 (forgot to mention firmware update also errors out on AP router)
