Hi all
Sorry to resurrect and slightly hijack an old thread but I was wondering how I could get a
multi port router [TL WR 1043 ND] to use all 5 ports [1 wan + 4 lan] as if they were all
wan ports, with both wan and mesh functionality on each and every one of them. In other
words, I’d like to entirely disable the lan interface on ethernet [leaving it only on
wifi] and instead assign the 4 lan ports to perform exactly the same function as the wan
port out-of-the-box.
I need to use one cable that goes to ISP router and have 4 more ports available to mesh
via ethernet with other routers.
I’ve played around with /etc/config/lime, /etc/config/network and luci [just to get my
hands dirty before asking] but I don’t understand the cleanest and most effective way to
do this.
Thank you so much in advance and sorry for all of the questions lately ;]

If the name is wan watchping should make the work.
You can check the system log with "logread | grep watchping". You can
see if the daemon is running "ps | grep watchping". And you can restart
it manually "/etc/init.d/watchping restart". If the node has Internet
and watchping detects it, a new "tunIn" rule named inet4 is added to
bmx6 in order to publish the Internet to other nodes (you can check it
with bmx6 -cp).

If the
virtual network device is named "wan", there is a daemon named
"watchping" which will detect the Internet connection, will publish it
and set up the proper NAT rules.
My interface was definitely called wan, but this definitely didn't
happen until I manually added the iptables rules
Anything else to test? Does this daemon need restart or something if
interface setup changes?
Thanks

This is the recommended way, but if you do it
manually configuring
network from OpenWRT (instead of using lime-config) then you must be
sure that you are using "wan" as interface name and not something like
"wwan" or "wan2".
