I've managed to get ASUS RT-N66 working with Telecom fiber broadband a couple of months ago. I changed the firmware to tomatousb which basically has VLAN support. It has been working perfectly in the last a couple of months. Until last week, it stops working. I tried different set of configurations, restore firmware, upgrade firmwares, it still doesn't work.


I wonder if it is because the Telecom has done something in their end ? because I used the Telecom's free router and it works fine. The only thing I find out so far is that TomatoUSB for RT-N66 does not support 802.1q tagging,

however what I don't understand is that it worked previously,

Have you guys got similar issues?


Thanks

sbiddle: I wonder if you were possibly incorrectly provisioned with an untagged UNNI port and didn't actually have a VLAN configured so it worked, and have then been moved to a standatd tagged port so your router stops working?



I think you are probably right, after a few research on the internet, I finally realized that what I had configured in tomatousb shibby is a untagged vlan with vid=10 bridged to wan port which is incorrect in this case according to Telecom's requirement.

However it worked in the last a few months so I think Telecom probably put my account on a untagged vlan port and until sometime earlier this month they switched it to a tagged port so it stopped working.

I enabled the vlan trunk support in shibby and enabled the tagging option (this option is disabled if trunk support is not enabled) and then it worked again.
