Comment (by i24):
I can confirm this issue on a WNDR4300v1 (wndrnand r46541.) Related
symptoms listed below.
1. On the '''Status | Overview''' page under '''Leases''' for IPv4 the
Hostname, IPv4-Address, MAC-Address, Leasetime were all shown correctly.
However, for IPv6 one of the LAN clients was missing and another client
hostname was displayed as "'''?'''"
2. On the '''Interfaces''' page, the MAC address of the WAN interface was
displayed as '''00:00:00:00:00:00'''
3. To obtain a WAN IP I had to force override the default (zero) MAC
address with a spoofed address. Both v4 & v6 WAN address was then
assigned correctly by DHCP, but could not ping anything beyond the ISP's
gateway.
4. To enable web browsing I did this:
WAN - Use builtin IPv6-management = disabled
WAN6 - Request IPv6-address = disabled
WAN6 - bring up on boot = disabled
(did not test each one individually, just rebooted)
5. When I was able to browse the web, the indicators read as follows:
'''Status | Overview | Network'''
- IPv4 WAN Status = CONNECTED
- MWAN Interface Live Status wan (eth0.2) = DISABLED
'''Network | Interfaces | Overview'''
- WAN eth0.2 = '''NOT''' CONNECTED (indicator is RED when working)
- TOR = CONNECTED (is that the intended default?)
______________
After several hours, all of the hardware traffic lights for the client
devices began to blink rapidly & continuously in perfect sync. The
problem has survived a reboot AND disconnecting the modem. All of the
lights now blink continuously while power is applied. However, it did not
affect browsing. When I changed the WAN MAC address again to see what
would happen, web access was lost (but not the WAN connection.) Rebooting
the modem did not restore internet connectivity as it normally would. At
this point the device was taken offline and awaits a future update because
it is unusable.
________
'''Notes:'''
There were 4 LAN clients in this test but after enabling WAN only 2 active
leases were displayed on the '''Status''' page.
At some point the system & kernel log menu options quit working and the UI
began to ask for a password on every page load. A reboot seemed to
resolve this.
The Tor virtual interface cannot be disabled and I did not expect it to be
brought up at boot by default. Was it accidentally swapped with the WAN
interface?
Is the bug only present in Atheros builds?
If the MAC address override is changed in oWRT, it seems to take much
longer for the ISP to restore connectivity than it took with the stock
firmware and DD-WRT.
--------
Default DNS forwardings are shown as:
{{{
127.0.0.1#5300
/0.openwrt.pool.ntp.org/8.8.8.8
/1.openwrt.pool.ntp.org/8.8.8.8
/2.openwrt.pool.ntp.org/8.8.8.8
/3.openwrt.pool.ntp.org/8.8.8.8
}}}
Is this a bug? Other firmwares require only an IP address.
--------
Before posting here, I attempted to discuss these issues in the
appropriate section of the forum, but could not register because my email
address was falsely detected as SPAM. (I did not use a disposable email
address.) It makes me wonder how many potential contributors to this
project might have simply walked away because they cannot get online OR
join the forum.
