Hi, I'm pretty sure OpenWRT supports VLANs. |

I started using it on a Buffalo WHR-G300N (I think, not at home to check |
27 |
right now.) Cheap and I didn't expect much but it works great (far |
28 |
better than any Linksys or trendnet products I've purchased and run |
29 |
their firmware on.) |

|
31 |
I'd highly recommend it. |
