To create a 10 gb/sec VLAN, start by setting up the SFP+ port as you would any VAP by navigating to Setup > Networking:
Read below for how to unbridge eth0, which is bridged to br0 by default. However, the SFP+ port can be easily segregated into its own VLAN since it's the only port associated with the eth0 interface. Creating additional Vlan's on the R9000, right now, has not yet been "figured out" for the 6 ehternet ports. Putting any of the 6 ethernet ports on a separate detached VLAN network is complicated by the fact that there are two internal hardware switches used by R9000 for routing traffic. If 5 minutes have passed and nothing has happened performing website refreshes, then reboot the router manually and try loading the gui website again. If the stock gui loads, clear your static NIC settings to grab IP's automatically again.Ĩ. Keep your browser open and try to load 192.168.1.1 It should load the stock firmware gui/website automatically once the router is booted.
It should do it's update and reboot by itself.
Push the file onto the router using TFTP64.ħ.Wait a full 5 minutes before touching the router. (You can avoid this by using a cheap/dumb 1gig switch which keeps your NIC active the whole time and shouldn't have to worry about re-selecting the right NIC in the dropdown)Ħ. It will change as you boot the router initially so you have to go back and select the right NIC/IP in the TFTP program. Go to the tftp program and re-select your NIC with the static IP 192.168.1.2 from the dropdown. You will have about 2-3 minutes to send the IMG file.ĥ. When the power LED is fast white blinking, the router is in TFTP mode and ready to accept any IMG file (Stock or dd-wrt). Let it blink 3-4 on the second set of faster white flashes and let go of the reset button and now send the IMG file via TFTP. The slow white flash will change to a faster white flash and then to a second even faster white flash. Get TFTP64 installed on your PC (MAKE SURE TO ALLOW THIS PROGRAM IN YOUR FIREWALL FOR BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE NETWORKS OR YOU'LL NEVER SEND THE IMG FILE)ģ.Get the TFTP program up and running and ready to push the correct file onto the router- then you will wait for step 6 below.ģ.Power on the router and keep holding down the reset button.Ĥ.When the router first boots the power led flashes orange and then it will switch to a slow white flash. Grab the latest Firmware file from Netgear: ġ. Make sure to factory reset dd-wrt on the admin>factory defaults tab. If you want to go back to stock: All you need to do is TFTP the stock firmware back onto the router. Make sure you statically set the IP address on your computer to 192.168.1.2 subnet 255.255.255.0 and gateway to 192.168.1.1. ONLY IMG files can be TFTP'd onto the router. Just make sure you grab the factory-to-dd-wrt.IMG file. The same rules apply for dd-wrt tftp as you would for stock below. You should see a screen asking you to create a username and password. You will see a notice about the file you uploaded being older than the firmware currently on the router.
