i bought rb493g as replacement for old&dead linksys wrt54gl but i am having trouble to get it working same way as linksys.
so far it seem that it wasn’t good choise to buy it, as i cannot use WIFI and all LAN ports together. so far i didn’t find the way for correct stable setup. i am not able to access any device connected to LAN from wifi. i wanted to use it as router and 9 port swith together. with old linksys i was able to access (from wireless)any device connected to LAN ports. But now i cannot.
can someone please guide me how to setup the router?
erther1-wan is used as wan port
wlan1 - for wifi
i’ve got 2 DHCP pools -
pool 1 for LAN
pool2 for wirelles
can you help me to resolve this issue?
thank you in advance
Irootsk,
you’ll need to create a bridge interface for your wifi ↔ LAN ports. The ports should already be switched out of the box from memory.
If you are still having problems maybe send through an /export compact and post it up here
what do you mean by that ? English is not my mother tongue so sometimes i’ve got little dificulties to understand 
Do you mean that i need to physicaly reconnect 2 LAN ports - each from one switch group?
I have tried to create bridges before, i’ve used 3 interfaces - ether1,ether2 and wlan.
As i also tried different combinations, one of them had worked. But - it worked around 20-30minutes , i have been able to connect to my NAS and then i lost wirelles connection. So i had to disable the bridge and wireless connection was restored. But no conection to NAS or other devices connected to LAN ports.
Create a new bridge, and assign both the wlan and the master port for the switch chip (eth2 as a default for an example)
It’s important to remember the RB493G has 2 switch chips, so you will have 2 groups of switching:
Switch1
Eth2,eth3,eth4,eth5
Switch2
Eth1,eth6,eth7,eth8,eth9
Setup your ethernet interfaces and assign the master port:
/interface ethernet
set 0 name=ether1-gateway
set 1 name=ether2-master-local
set 2 master-port=ether2-master-local name=ether3-slave-local
set 3 master-port=ether2-master-local name=ether4-slave-local
set 4 master-port=ether2-master-local name=ether5-slave-local
Create a bridge local interface then assign the ports:
/interface bridge add name="bridge-local" disabled=no
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge-local interface=ether2-master-local
add bridge=bridge-local interface=wlan1
Does this help?
it helped me.
@rjickity - Thank you for your feedback, but for some reason I didn’t get notfication about your last update from January, just now after liviu2004’s update.
Anyway my problem was sorted out after i did an OS upgrade to v5.22 where was already build in “Quick Set” tab.
But I would like to learn how to manage router via command line as well…maybe..once
