Anyone have a some information for setting up the Air Router HP VLAN ?
Using the WiFi to provide WAN.
Seems every switch has to be completely different.

the PoE is the WAN port
port 4 is DTD
ports 1-3 are LAN

Will try installing AREDN on it. I assume the setup is similar to other nodes ?
Default ip ? 192.168.1.20 accessed from WAN port ?
Yep. You got it right. BTW, the AirRouter HP version will connect from the desktop in my home office to a hilltop node I have 3-4 miles away.
Looks like that is the file to modify (make a backup first). To make port 3 become another DtD port add 2t to make it option ports '0t 1t 2t' to the line under option vlan '2', and remove 2 from the line under option vlan '0' to make it option ports '0t 3 4". Save it, then via the browser page "setip" save it and then reboot and it should do it. Worked for me, a SW newbie...
I've had problems with such a switch on just the DtD cables losing the DtD connections. So far, using two ports on my air router (as described in my post above) as DtDs works better.
Opened up the switch, a Netgear FS608v3, and sure enough it uses a Realtek chip RTL82095B. Seems Realtek chips have problems maintaining an ethernet connection to the on-board switch when ports are being used in both a tagged and untagged mode. Source: http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/documentation/202-dtd-linking-on-linksys.html Is everything on the DtD link tagged?
Weird, never saw that, try this link instead:

EDIT: OK both links are working. Thanks for pointing that out.
Without the switch, I still had connections on my DtD links drop. So maybe the switch isn't the problem... Presently my system consists of a Bullet M2, a Netgear GS108Ev3, an AirRouter HP M2 (with a 2nd DtD link added), and a NanoStation Loco M900 with a Netgear GS105E. All their DtD ports are connected together (via the pair of DtD ports on the AirRouter), and all the WANs are connected to my home network's router. I also have an IP camera DLink DCS-1100 connected to the Air Router's LAN. I also have a pair of Linksys WRT54Gs in the house, but those are connected only by RF links, but they are also connected to the house router via their LANs (DHCP disabled). They also have a DtD link between them, but not to the Ubiquiti's. Everything has a few services on them, small web pages.
Rebooting the Bullet didn't clear the problem, but the problem did clear after I then rebooted the NanoStation. I don't know if only rebooting the NanoStation would have done it. In the past, power cycling the GS108Ev2 would fix it (when I was using the switch with the Realtek chip in it).
As a new test, I created a 2nd vlan2 port on my GS105E (the one that feeds the NanoStation) to connect the Bullet M2 to. The other vlan2 port now goes to the DtD port 4 of the AirRouter. Maybe the Airrouter doesn't like having two DtDs on it?
I think I did just that. Here is the modified swconfig file:
"As a new test, I created a 2nd vlan2 port on my GS105E (the one that feeds the NanoStation) to connect the Bullet M2 to. The other vlan2 port now goes to the DtD port 4 of the AirRouter. Maybe the Airrouter doesn't like having two DtDs on it? "
That wasn't it. Tried rebooting the Airrouter, nope, The Nanostation, nope, the Bullet, nope. I rebooted the GS105E and that got the connections reestablished. Maybe rebooting this tickled the GS108Ev3 into reestablishing the DtD link?. Okay maybe the GS108Ev3 isn't good for serving both the Bullet's DtD, LAN and WANs along with unrelated computers also connected to WAN ports. I used the Netgear switch to split off these WANs (placed between the house router and the GS108Ev3) so the GS108Ev3 doesn't have to feed computers tied to the WAN. The Netgear switch is now handling them, and the GS108Ev2 does not now see them. The GS108Ev3 now only handles the Bullet's WAN,LAN and the DtD.
I'm trying to systemically narrow down to the root cause. By trial and error, takes a while. I've done validation at various jobs I've had, and trying to change one variable at a time...
That said sounds like you have configuration issues going on in your environment. I've used isolated networks with mesh nodes on the same switch (v2 however) and not had any issues at all.
