TP-Link Archer C7 v2 OpenWRT VLAN UniFi HyppTV

Published: 3 January 2016 | Last updated: 11 May 2018 | Network

There are many tutorials available on Internet on how to setup VLAN on OpenWRT/LEDE but finding one specifically for Archer C7 v2 with the right VLAN settings for Malaysia’s UniFi HyppTV was a little challenging. In the process of trial and error, I had to recover my router from failsafe mode so please be careful.

Configuration file

Physical LAN ports 1, 2, 3 are not VLAN tagged while port 4 is for HyppTV IPTV.

Note: Physical LAN port number is not the same as port numbers on OpenWRT switch settings! For example, physical port 4 is actually port 5 on OpenWRT switch settings.
