Hi guys,

For those of you on the Linksys E2500, have you upgraded to the Build 1.0.07 Firmware?

The 1.0.0.5 Build #1 firmware is a custom firmware with VLAN 500 and 600 added for Unifi functionality. My previous experience shows versions post-1.0.0.5 Build #1 actually render the router useless for Unifi.

However, note the changelogs below for 1.0.0.7. VLAN configuration functionality is added to the router. So two things;

Can VLAN 500 & 600 be configured manually post firmware upgrade and if so, via GUI? I've tried a search but the VLAN settings are rather unique to Unifi.

I would flash it to DD-WRT as I still have the DIR-615 somewhere at home but I don't want to risk bricking/screwing anything up needlessly.



From router config pages itself.

Well, guess this should go to Broadband user to user as it has more audience.

Just upgraded my E2500 to 1.0.07

It appears to have VLAN Setup menu
Suppose config will be like this?



But I didn't tested with Unifi yet.

Seem right

This router is COMPATIBLE with Unifi and yes, HyppTV working as well.

Just tested and everything work good.

Set your VLAN config like this, then setup your Unifi account and you're good to go



PPPoE connected




NOTE: Please MAKE SURE your E2500 is on firmware version 1.0.07

Hi guys,

I just got this wireless router today, the firmware version is 1.0.07
I managed to connect with Unifi and using it now.

There is new firmware 2.0.00 in Linksys website, do we need to upgrade it?
Can we upgrade?

there should be no problem as long it have VLAN tagging
