Hey! I'm trying to use my OpenWRT router instead of the Swisscom Internet Box. This should be possible as per [this](https://community.swisscom.ch/t5/Archiv-Internet/Using-a-third-party-router-instead-of-the-Swisscom-Internet-Box/td-p/667492?newBounceUser=true) post. Here is my [/etc/config/network](https://pastebin.com/raw/KpUPW5G0) [IP address output.](https://pastebin.com/ZKwWmXKU) [Logs](https://pastebin.com/raw/wczVTgyP) after a /etc/init.d/network restart Any help would be appreciated.

How did you connect the OpenWRT device?

WAN port into the port on the wall, same cable and port I use with the Swisscom Box.

I'm assuming you have FTTH. If you have P2MP line you need a certified device. What kind of subscription you have?

I don't know what those things are, it's an ethernet jack in the wall of my flat, I connect this to the router. No fibre.

It's probably DSL, so you'll need a DSL modem/router in front of your router. Possibly one that you can put in bridging mode.

So I must use the Swisscom router?

The Swisscom router can't be put in bridging mode. You'll have double NATing using the DMZ method. You can always buy your own DSL modem/router, but you should think about what are the real benefits of using your own device. Is the hassle worth it.

I would really like to use my own router, and by the instructions I've listed above it should be very simple

It's possible for sure. The use case you referenced is for FTTH with a device that already has the necessary interface. If you want do use your device with minimal effort in your scenario, just configure the DMZ on the Internet-Box to forward all traffic to the OpenWRT device.

Thanks, yeah, I know how to use both routers to get this to work. My issue is I only want one router (my openWRT router), and setting this up should be pretty straight forward, but it looks like I'm missing something.

Swisscom gibt normal nicht mehr Angaben für die Konfiguration von Fremdrouter den es wird ja bei Swisscom immer mehr abgebaut und das würde einen grösseren Mehraufwand bedeuten zusätzlich noch Fremdrouter in das Testprogramm aufzunehmen.
