Many many thanks to all for the contributions here!

The start up lines worked for me!

Very new to DD-WRT so this is probably a newb question.

I have this problem on a TP-LINK Archer C9 with DD-WRT v3.0-r33607 std.

When I save the commands in the startup script and reboot it does nothing, the problem is still there. When I run the commands I get the following error: swconfig: not found

After some research it seems that my Broadcom BCM4709 isn't supported by swconfig, which is probably why it's not there.

Any alternative way to fix the issue? Should I use a previous build? If so which one would you recommend?

Thank you!

Router Model: TP-Link TL-WR841ND v12
Firmware Version: DD-WRT v3.0-r33772 std (11/16/17)

Having applied this today, I can confirm that it is still required to enable the LAN ports to act as a single switch.

But it works a treat as soon as applied!

I have probably the same issue with WR841ND v9. So glad I bumped into this topic! Gonna check the solution soon while y'all say a script works like a charm. The ticket I created: http://svn.dd-wrt.com/ticket/6055

EDIT: It does work like a charm!

Confirming it is still an issue for

TP-Link TL-WR842ND v2.3 with DD-WRT v3.0-r34311 std (12/29/17)

LAN ports could not communicate to each other and therefore didn't act as a switch as intended


but with the startup script

Code:
swconfig dev eth0 set enable_vlan 1
swconfig dev eth0 set apply


it worked like a charm!

Hi,

I was running Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r30949 std (12/15/16) on TP-Link TL-WR841N v9 this script:

swconfig dev eth0 set enable_vlan 1
swconfig dev eth0 set apply

The necessity could be an earlier version of DD-WRT that supports your hardware, such as: 27506, 27745, 31899, 33006, 33555, 35034, 35831, 35874, 35927, 36006, 36330. See also https://svn.dd-wrt.com/

Hello, maybe you could try this as startup command :

swconfig dev switch0 set reset 1
swconfig dev switch0 set enable_vlan 1
swconfig dev switch0 set apply

Hi!
The bug is still present as of February 2019.
Router TL-WR842ND v10.0 ; Firmware DD-WRT v3.0-r38581 std.

Adding this lines to the Startup Commands resolved it for me:

Code:
swconfig dev switch0 set reset 1
swconfig dev switch0 set enable_vlan 1
swconfig dev switch0 set apply

Thanks for this, life-saver!
Current F/W release for TL-WR841N v11.1 (v3.0-r37305 std) has the same issue. I think this should be defaulted and the WebGUI could allow for control over it, but definetely should be default.
