Linksys SWR224

Hi all

Long time reader, first time poster.

I have been using a couple of Linksys SWR224 switches for years at home.

Having recently discovered AREDN, I have been playing with a mesh gateway using a LocoM2 - connected to this switch.  I have been trying to alter VLAN1 on the switch, without success.  It appears, the 'default' VLAN1 is set in stone and can not be altered, I understand this is a Linksys/Cisco thing.

Having read quite a few AREDN posts they all seem to end in - something to the effect of 'get the right hardware'.  So I have relented, a GS105E on its way.

However, in an effort to exhaust all options with my trusty old switches, I thought it best to ask.  Perhaps there is a work around for my problem, perhaps an ability to move the WAN connection to another VLAN number in the AREDN firmware?  Perhaps there is a closely guarded firmware upgrade (I could not find one on the interwebs) for the switch that would free up VLAN1?

Many thanks
