Been a big fan of DD-WRT for a long time, and having done some research and seeing that dd-wrt supported this router, decided to pick it up.
Everything worked out of the box perfectly with the 06-24-2016-r30016 firwmware, and wifi worked.
However, with 5ghz I can only get 173 Mb/s, whereas before I was getting 877ish with the stock firmware. Is there anyway to increase this speed?
Thanks!
No, there is no AC support for this router so you only have 802.11n speeds.
This has been the case for about forever, I'm pretty much have given up on having AC support for this one while it's still relevant.

AC is working for me, however I have to set it to N/AC mode to get it to work. AC only doesn't work and neither does N only. Also be sure to change the mode to VHT (80MHZ) to get full speeds.

I tried every configuration a while ago, tried it again today and still nothing.
If I set the clients to AC only the 5G network doesn't show up at all.
You can't really see the 5ghz network same goes for A mode only.
When you set the clients to mix/N they connect to the 5ghz network just fine but like always they all show up on the 2.4ghz radio under the QTN "loopback" and it's maxed at 300mbit.
Can you post screenshots of your wireless status? I never seen QTN goes above 300Mbit on DD-WRT...
You are right, it is really flaky, right now I am only getting 173mbps on my 5ghz but if I reset my adapter several times I can sometimes get it up to 867mbps.

So I'm getting this Red indicator for Port 4 on the Asus RT-87u on the VLAN screen. I've tried a few devices on this port and everything appears to be fine but does anybody know why this is red or how to fix it?

Do you have a device plugged into it and powered on? They turn red when there is no device detected.
On my device it appears that the ports are backwards... Port 1 on the leds/back of the router are correct but the vlans are backwards. Not a big issue but that let me know that port 4 in the vlans is acutally port 1 on the router and if I remember correctly that port is controlled by the Quantenna chipset. Which we all know works but doesn't report correctly in dd-wrt. So in short until all of the Quantenna issues are worked out (which might be never) it will display incorrectly but still function.

Hope that this helps.
Yes you are correct it appears that the VLAN status is numbered backwards from the interface numbers. I tested again with this in mind and experienced the same issues, unfortunately. I did notice something interesting though.
It would appear that there is a bridge being created by default on eth1 (port 4 in VLAN). I'm sure this is used for something obvious but I'm unable to delete it. I wonder if because it's assigned to this bridge the firmware marks it red in the VLAN screen?

So I am on v3.0-r30342 std on a RT-AC87U and I am still testing.
What I cant seem to get correctly done is a Virtual Device (Guest Wifi) for 5Ghz. I can create it and define the encryption and so on, even connect to it.
But there is no wl1.1 device in ifconfig or brctl on the commandline, or in the Networking tab on the GUI.

Hello DD-WRT pros!
Just ordered an RT-AC87U and gathered all the necessary info needed to flash and set up dd-wrt but still nothing concrete on the possibility to create dual networks - one standard and one VPN.
Ideally, two wi-fi networks with an option to include or exclude LAN ports.
