Hi, I'm new here, so this is my first message on this forum
As the title saying, I'm looking for some informations on the ASUS RT-N18U router, before buying. This device is sold to ~73€ here (~$80), so it's very interesting for me!
I was interested by RT-N16 but this excellent router is no longer available here, quite old
I would like to know if there is Vlan support using DD-WRT on it? Is it based on port or tagging, trunk port etc... ? There is no informations on the Wiki or somewhere else...
Although it's starting to be a little expensive, there is a lot of memory and lot of flash for this price, a good thing!
I also heard somewhere that new Broadcom gigabit routers are not well supported with DD-WRT, some fonctionnalities doesn't work very well, like 802.11q ...

Good news !
Yeah I know, there is no 5Ghz but all my devices works on 2.4 or via ethernet, and I have another router (TPLink WDR3600 : Atheros based) which works on both frequencies.
That's why I need a broadcom router which can handle VLANs.
So that mean you have VLAN tab in the interface of DDWRT of the router?

Sorry for the second post, but which best build I have to install on the router?
Usually I take the build shown in the router database, but this one is different of your build you have installed (26405).
There is also a newer beta build for this router since the build you have... I'm lost
Is there a recommended build, even in beta (a kind of stable beta build)?
