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.
Topic updated, if it has some wrong information please post. Also, I don't know the switches, if you guys want to categorize by switch number, please post with it.
I may be mistaken but I believe VLAN's are pretty much universally supported on the G spec models. Most N spec models don't have full VLAN support and gigabit switches never do. _________________ Read the forum announcements thoroughly! Be cautious if you're inexperienced.
Available for paid consulting. (Don't PM about complicated setups otherwise)
Looking for bricks and spare routers to expand my collection. (not interested in G spec models)

Do you mean most of our G routers are capable of VLAN but cannot achieve this ability because its unsupported in software (DD-WRT)? _________________ Eko Builds

No, I mean the G spec models all have working VLAN's in dd-wrt. It's N spec models that have hardware/software problems that are not unique to dd-wrt. _________________ Read the forum announcements thoroughly! Be cautious if you're inexperienced.

Can you do one test for me:
On routers with 5395, 97 or 98 please do:
insmod switch-core
insmod switch-robo
then try VLAN page if it has any effect-
On a Netgear WNR3500 v2 (bcm4718 (wlan) + bcm53115 (gb-switch)) running with 'build 13575M NEWD-2 K2.6 Eko' it "isolates" the port(s) you put in a separate vlan and it seems that no communication is possible, also when i assign a second or third port to that same vlan i even can't ping to other devices on those ports.

thank you for this working tip. trying insmod the 2 modules and than configuring the vlan do work. but if i reboot the device, the switch is back unconfigured. how can i load this 2 modules at boot time? another solution for me is to custom command load the modules and restart the switch programming. but how to program the switch at the console?
