Thinking of swapping to asus router - need some advice?

[damien445]

Currently using DD-WRT on Netgear (please don't shoot me), finding that it is not too stable. So looking to move to the RT-AX86U if i can either find it cheap 2nd hand or in stock brand new(will not pay a new price for 2nd hand kit lol).

Just wondering if I swap to Asus WRT Merlin NG will I have access to vlans, including being able to set up an additional wifi virtual network connect connected to those VLANs?

Also can i tweak the wifi settings to boost performance and range link on can in dd wrt (tx, beacons ect).

Many Thanks Damien

No, unless you know how to script it yourself and it's model specific.

Also can i tweak the wifi settings to boost performance and range

No, you can't tweak anything above stock Asuswrt and region limits.

Use to run a WRT54g with DDWRT. Years ago! Worked very well. Then I discovered Asus.
Spend the bucks on an AX86U Pro or an AX6000. Has beta firmware with VLANs.
