I'm really struggling to get an #OpenWrt router (v 24.10.4) to connect with our NZ fibre (our.net.nz). All the instructions I've found in searches online were written up for older version of OpenWrt (19 and 21), but the interface seems to have changed significantly, and the 'update notes' only said confusing and contradicting things.

Things I know:

- somehow create a VLAN tagged `10` on some device
- use DHCP or PPPoE

But I just don't know how.

Any insights or help appreciated. There must be folks in Aotearoa having set up OpenWrt with fibre already with newer versions.

@phlogiston I have this working on a Netgear WNDR3800, connected to fibre modem provided by ISP.

Briefly:

To create the VLAN go to menu Network/Interfaces, select the Devices tab

Click "Add device configuration" enter
Device Type : "VLAN (801.2q)"
Base Device : "eth1" (whatever device your WAN interface has by default)
VLAN ID : 10
Click [Save]
You now have a device called "eth1.10" in the list

Switch to the Interfaces tab, EDIT the "wan" interface and change the Device to "eth1.10"
