Someone with RT-BE92U confirm a command supported or not?

I'm contemplating getting an RT-BE92U, but need someone who has one to confirm if the following commands are supported? (RT-BE96U and GT-BE98 Pro are out of my $$ range)

Commands
  • ip link add
  • brctl addif and brctl delif
My goal is to install Asuswrt-Merlin and then have a custom script to create separate vlan for Wireless and Ethernet ports. I know the RT-BE92u does not have "Guest Network Pro" capabilities, but I believe I can achieve similar capabilities if the above commands are supported.

My plans are to have the RT-BE92U setup in AP mode with a *Sense firewall in front of it, with the firewall connected to ISP.

For reference below is an excerpt of the script I'm planning to use.

Code:
    brctl delif br0 eth0 eth1 eth2 eth3 eth4 eth6 eth7
    # remove guest wifi interfaces from the default bridge, we're gonna move them to other bridges
    brctl delif br0 wl0.1 wl1.1 wl1.2

    # simple for loop IF adding subinterfaces fo
    for int in eth0 eth1 eth2 eth3 eth4 eth5 eth6 eth7;
    # for each interface;
    do
    ip link add link ${int} name ${int}.v2 type vlan id 2 # (HOME VLAN)
    ip link add link ${int} name ${int}.v3 type vlan id 3 # (ADULTS VLAN)
    ip link add link ${int} name ${int}.v4 type vlan id 4 # (KIDS/IOT VLAN)
    ip link set ${int}.v2 up
    ip link set ${int}.v3 up
    ip link set ${int}.v4 up
    done

    # set up br2, HOME Vlan (Eth2 and Router's wireless SSID)
    brctl addbr br2
    brctl stp br2 on # STP to prevent bridge loops
    brctl addif br2 eth0.v2 # subinterface of this bridge/vlan
    brctl addif br2 eth1 # trusted wired device plugged into port 2 on Asuswrt router
    brctl addif br2 eth2 # trusted wired device plugged into port 2 on Asuswrt router
    brctl addif br2 eth6 # Asuswrt WebUI "Wireless" tab 2.4 GHz network for Home devices
    brctl addif br2 eth7 # Asuswrt WebUI "Wireless" tab 5.0 GHz network for Home devices
    #ifconfig br1 192.168.##.## netmask 255.255.255.0
    # ... IP address assignments will be handled by DHCP on firewall
    ip link set br2 up
