I currently use an TP-Link TLWR 740n v4 router and DDWRT v 3.0-r49599 std version.
How can I add that ebtables module? Or do I need to buy another more advanced router? Which router should I buy that is the most compatible with my system and doesn't cost too much? Can it also run openWRT?

That device has only 4MB flash space. Highly doubtful it has the kernel modules available for ebtables, but the output of ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r) | grep ebt will tell you for sure. Also, for multiport support, the output of ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r) | grep multiport will give you the answer. I see that in your other thread, you were given recommendation for XR500 or R7800. You may also have some success, depending on your requirements, with the Archer A7 v5.x.
Then add the ebtables rules. Of course, there is always this option as well that was posted today so that you don't run into a possible performance impact issue using ebtables:
But this would have to be explored on proper iptables rules for accomplishing what the OPs premise is here. At this point, I am going to take a wild guess that we're trying to prevent anyone from accessing (wired or wireless?) IP cameras on anything but port 443. _________________ "The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
