Apologies for reviving an old thread but I just got my Netgear WNR3500L working with Unifi and I hope this helps others.

Klseet shows that newer routers can use Shibby builds 136 and above to set VID of 500:

However, older routers like mine have a hardware limitation that requires another method, VID offset as featured in Shibby build numbers <136. I'm using build 132.

I struggled to get the right values in the VLAN table, but eventually found the answer here:

Thanks to Kanuki!
My settings are:

VLAN1 (LAN) / VID = 497
VLAN4 (WAN) / VID = 500 / 'Tagged' box checked
VID Offset = 496

Screenshot attached.

Reboot the router after saving, then enter your PPPoE login and save.

NB I had to turn off both the BTU and router, then allow the BTU to boot fully before turning on the router in order to get it to connect to TM via PPPoE.

Now I have internet from my WNR3500L But it isn't possible to get HyppTV working with these old routers, I think. No loss for all I care.

Because the offset of 496 is added to both VLAN IDs, 1 and 4. It works anyway.

You can see the same in the top pic in Kasmankk's post #41.

I tried DualWAN Shibby builds 137 and 138 with the VLAN settings advised by Klseet and the router would not connect via PPPoE, no matter how many times I tried, double checked settings, password etc. I reverted to build 132 and the offset method and it connected.

I see. I tried Toastman a few years ago but Shibby seemed easier to use for some reason I can no longer remember. I think Shibby had 3G modem support and Toastman didn't and I needed it back then - something like that.

I'm not competent to patch and compile my own build and don't really have the interest.

Thanks for your input. If I get round to it I'll give Toastman a try. But as I don't need HyppTV then my present setup is fine.

Not trying to be rude, but if you're not competent to research that question for yourself by using Google, then you are going to find installing and configuring OpenWRT a challenge. Try Tomato or DD-WRT, if they have suitable builds.

Which Tomato build number are you trying, and which flavour - Shibby or Toastman?

I tried that build on my Netgear router and couldn't get Unifi to work. Maybe there's a VLAN problem with that build (and 137 also didn't work).

I reverted to build 132 and used the VLAN ID offset method detailed above and internet works (but not HyppTV).

Did you get a 404 error when trying to get to the web interface? I had that in Chrome although it had worked fine until the latest flash. Changed to Firefox and I could log in as usual.

Really useful info - thanks
