Hi
I want to set two independent networks at home, and i assume two vlans will be the best option
I am planning to buy Asus RT-N66U router to do that, but looks like by default it doesnt support vlans (although the hardware seems to be able to do it)
Will the dd-wrt firmware enable this feature?
Is this router the best one for what i want to do, or would you recommend something different?

I have a 100mb connection running through my Asus N66u.
The Asus N66u only runs the QoS, DHCP, and WAN connection. The wifi is disabled because I use WDS on Atheros everywhere else. _________________ Before asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: Where do I download firmware? I suggest reading it all.

Some dd-wrt wiki pages are up to date, others are not. PM me if you find an old one.
Atheros:
Netgear R7800 x3 - WDS AP / station, gateway, QoS
TP-Link Archer C7 v2 x2 - WDS Station
TP-Link TL-WDR3600 v1 - WDS Station
TP-Link 841nd v8 - NU
D-Link 615 C1/E3/I1 x 7 - 1 WDS station
D-Link 825 B1 - NU
D-Link 862L A1 x2 - WDS Station
Netgear WNDR3700v2 - NU
UBNT loco M2 x2 - airOS
Broadcom
Linksys EA6400 - Gateway, QoS
Asus N66U - AP
Netgear WNDR3700v3 - not used
MediaTek
UBNT EdgeRouter X - switch
Which speed is giving the router? I am surprised it would not support more than 50mbps
Depending on what features/overclock you're using, lack of CTF/FastNAT ('h/w NAT') will limit throughput. See NAT/CTF in my signature for details. Another option; with AsusWRT Merlin you can keep FastNAT, and set VLAN's thru ssh/telnet:

What model? You can use the Netgear backdoor telnet on the wnr1000 v3, and overclock it from 333 MHz to 400. I've done it w/ a v10 plus a WGR614v10 modified to a WNR1000 v3; they makes nice travel routers. I was able to get ~90 Mb/s on my 75 Mb/s connection with it (my N66U got slightly higher). _________________ #NAT/SFE/CTF: limited speed w/ DD#Repeater issues#DD-WRT info: FAQ, Builds, Types, Modes, Changes, Demo#

If i buy the router and flash a new firmware... i will lose the warranty inmediately isnt it?
Technically, you could flash it back to stock first, or even if it was, e.g. bricked, it may not matter, as the f/w would be corrupted anyway. Just don't open the hardware.

The key to you is the telnet enable utility, which if you're on the latest f/w (and I hope so), you need the newer one. And if you want to try overclocking, I'd recommended a heatsink; though that SoC does run quite cool. Normal disclaimers apply.
Note; to easily find/copy/paste your MAC addr use 'arp -a' or 'arp -a 192.168.1.1' or however your WNR1000 address is set. _________________ #NAT/SFE/CTF: limited speed w/ DD#Repeater issues#DD-WRT info: FAQ, Builds, Types, Modes, Changes, Demo#
