Hello,

I have to force my WAN port to full duplex 10mbps.

I had a look here :

http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Switched_Ports#NVRAM_Variables_Explained

So I figure I should do something like this :

nvram set port5vlans="0 1 16 17 19"
nvram commit
reboot

But I don't know which of the port#vlans is the WAN port. I am using a buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH2 with the DD-wRT version that came with the router.

Can someone please confirm which port#vlans field I have to set so that the blue WAN port is FORCED to 10 mbps Full duplex ?

Thanks,

David

What I heard from others is that speed settings for WAN/LAN Ethernet ports are useless, since they do not work.

Can I force my wan port into full duplex mode ? My internet provider requires this for my connection to work properly.

Thanks,

David

if you can;t do it in dd-wrt, you could put a managed switch between the router and the modem and set that port on the switch to full duplex.

Full duplex is not a force-able setting, it is a negotiation between between the 2 nodes and if your ethernet cable is ok then you will get full duplex.

And if your provider does not accept ethernet negotiation with their appliances, then it's time you changed the provider instead of router settings.

however this does not apply if this was due to some thunderstorm or power failure.
