Hello all,

I decided to open this thread to help people find routers with VLAN capabilities and with help of you all, we gonna make a great list. I will try to keep it updated.

First let's see what VLAN is:

"A virtual LAN, commonly known as a VLAN, is a group of hosts with a common set of requirements that communicate as if they were attached to the same Broadcast domain, regardless of their physical location. A VLAN has the same attributes as a physical LAN, but it allows for end stations to be grouped together even if they are not located on the same network switch. Network reconfiguration can be done through software instead of physically relocating devices." (Quoted from wikipedia)

What you can do with VLAN support in dd-wrt:

- Create different subnets for each router's lan port - Change lan/wan port order

And lots of things that I will be adding as soon as I have the information

Routers that WILL support VLAN

All G spec routers supported by dd-wrt WRT160Nv3 (latest build)

BCM53115 switch

You will have to add these lines to Startup Script:

insmod switch-core
insmod switch-robo

and don't trust the webgui, use telnet/ssh to set them (specifically for this switch).

WRT320Nv1 WRT610Nv1 WRT610Nv2 Asus RT-N16 Netgear WNR3500v2/U/L

Routers that WON'T support VLAN

BCM5395 (waiting for confirmation)

WRT600N

BCM5397 (waiting for confirmation)

WRT310Nv1 WRT350N
