How to test a WR31 router step by step.
Page | 24
8 CHECK ETH PORTS 1 AND 2
Note that it is not necessary to test Eth port 0. This was testing during the flashing process.
Access the CLI. Issue the command
id
and check that the router is in “port isolate mode”:
Otherwise, please enter the following CLI command and reboot afterwards:
ethvlan
Configure eth port 1 with a valid and free IP address on the same subnet as your test PC, e.g.
eth 1 ipaddr 192.168.1.1
From your PC, first clear the ARP table, from the Windows command prompt with the
command:
arp –d *
Then check that you can ping this IP address from Windows.
If it works ok with ETH 0, repeat the test accordingly with ETH 1.
If it is not possible to ping this addresses and if you repeat this test on a known good WR31 and
it works fine, please request an RMA with code “ETH X test failed” where X is the Eth port
number that failed to respond.
Please don’t forget to change back the Ethernet port mode back to the required mode!
It does not get changed via Factory Default!
The standard is Hub mode, which you select by the CLI command:
ethhub
