 Hello,

 I'm testing with OpenWrt 14.07 BB and TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND v2 router.

 The default OpenWrt configuration on this device has the default
 LAN interface on the physical device eth1.

 When a new VLAN is created using the usual LuCI switch screen, when
 the new VLAN is activated, the switch will then treat VLAN 1 (the
 default VLAN) as accessible only using the device eth1.1.

 As the default OpenWrt configuration references only eth1, the
 result is a non-working LAN configuration on a VLAN that the user
 does not expect to have been changed.

 A straightforward fix would be to change the default OpenWrt
 configuration to reference VLAN 1 right from the start using the
 eth1.1 notation (similarly to how the older TL-WR1043NDv1 router
 works).

 There are two changes needed to do this: add a 0t to the VLAN1
 switch definition to move the switch into VLAN mode, and reference
 eth1.1 instead of eth1 in the LAN interface definition.

 With these changes, users can later create VLANs with no impact
 to VLAN1.

 old:
 config interface 'lan'
         option ifname 'eth1'
         option force_link '1'
         option type 'bridge'

 new:
 config interface 'lan'
         option ifname 'eth1.1'                    CHANGE HERE
         option force_link '1'
         option type 'bridge'


 old:
 config switch_vlan
         option device 'switch0'
         option vlan '1'
         option ports '0 1 2 3 4'

 new:
 config switch_vlan
         option device 'switch0'
         option vlan '1'
         option ports '0t 1 2 3 4'                CHANGE HERE

 Note this issue is specific to the v2 model of this router,
 which uses a different switch chipset compared to the v1 older
 model.

 Regards,
 Tim Miller Dyck
