I am really not following this thread very thoroughly,
I know there's been no 5ghz support but maybe some people have made a little progress.
IF it would help this cause, I am willing to give my E2500 router fully working with original firmware to some known person working on this. If it's neccessary, I don't know at this stage? Let me know.

Tomato has a full release that includes the 5ghz driver... I am just waiting on a few commits in svn, then I can merge my changes for that as well for dd-wrt.
In a short answer, yes 5ghz has been ported for this and the e3200, right now tomato is the only firmware 3rd party you can run on it to support both bands.

Wow, I came here just to ask that question. I specifically just bought four E2500-RM routers from the Cisco homestore, to put DD-WRT on them, and to use them in the 5Ghz band. I'm disappointed to hear that DD-WRT doesn't support 5Ghz on this device. (Hopefully they will in the future.)
Especially after they have been recommended many times in the Anandtech forums as cheap dual-band routers with DD-WRT support.
edit: Just read the last few pages, looks like 5Ghz support is coming soon, I'm really excited now. Thanks Fractal!

I was about to lecture you regarding the flaming of DD-WRT over 5GHz not being there when it was posted that it was being added very very soon. Thanks for editing the post
RT-N53 was tested by me
E2500 was tested by user @tvlz from linksysinfo.org
If you can test and give me a feedback about E3200 i will be happy.
After install tomato you have to erase nvram (administration, configuration and erase all data in nvram).
After reboot eth2 should works. If it will not works and basic, network menu will be broken, then go to advanced, mac and restore default MAC address for eth2, then save.
Best Regards!
Hi Shibby20,
Is the build that you have referred here reliable for ASUS RT-N53. The latest stock firmware has not been reliable and I want to try this as this seems to be the first build that has 5GHz support for that router

Thanks so much for your work on this shibby! Been running this build on my E2500 functioning as an access point for 12 hours now, and 5ghz is working great! Followed flashing instructions here:
Posted: Mon Dec 10, 2012 3:50 Post subject: 802.11n
I have been using Linksys WRT-54G's with DD firmware for many years. I started having dropped packets so I decided to upgrade. I first got a Cisco EA2700, then bought a E2500 when I realized there was no DD-WRT firmware for the 2700. I flashed 19342 mini-e2500 then 19327 big on the 2500.
Everything seems to run normal, except 802.11n performance. I have the router set to GN and I did a test file download on a G-only laptop and was getting around 1.0MB/sec, and seeing speeds of 12-15mbps in the bandwidth graph. When I tried the 802.11n laptop, I was only getting 50K/sec download on the same file. When I set the 2500 to G-only, I get those 1.0MB/sec speeds on both laptops.
I later wired up my EA2700 (stock cisco firmware) as an AP only, and was getting a good 1.8MB/sec on the N laptop (2.4GHz), so I know the laptop is OK.
Any ideas why the DD-WRT router is getting such poor performance on the N radio? I was set to WPA2 Personal AES, and 20MHz channel.
