Title: Static Routing - no option for LAN interface
Post by: dshintani on May 11, 2009, 10:24:15 AM

I have a DIR-615 rev C with firmware 3.10 and am trying to setup static routing.  There is no option to select LAN for the interface.  Anyone else having this problem?

It's designed that way on purpose.
The 655 is the same way.

What is the reason for this?  My 2 old linksys routers don't have this restriction...  I guess I'll just have to return this one and get a linksys??

You are welcome to do that if you wish. Those models do not include LAN side routing. It's reserved for higher end products.

Um... a better response may be to offer alternatives (ie specific models) that do support LAN side routing???  I have never come across a router that has had this restriction.  On the positive side, the port forwarding functionality on this router is much more robust than the old linksys routers.

The 4500 and the 855 both have the feature you're referring to.

I have found a way to bypass this restriction on DIR 615, firmware 3.11NA.
Install firebug addon for firefox.
Load the routing page in firefox. Right click on the WAN droplist (there should've also been a LAN here) and select Inspect Element.
This line will appear in the firebug window:
[ + ] <select style="width: 90px;" id="interface0" name="interface0">
Press the [ + ] so you can see this:
<option default="true" value="WAN">WAN</option></select>
Change that to this:
<option default="true" value="LAN">LAN</option></select>
Now press 'save settings' in the router page.
Done.
You can check if it worked for you by powercycling the router, loading the Routing page, right click, view page source, scroll down and look up this line:
<input type="hidden" id="static_routing_00" name="static_routing_00" value="1/xxxname/192.168.xxx.x/255.255.255.252/192.168.xxx.x/LAN/1">
As you can see there's LAN written there, not WAN.
It has worked for me and hopefully it will work for you. My OpenVPN now works.
Cheers.
