With all R7000s ran into VLAN issues and fixed with RESET and 'nvram erase && reboot' then Manual Re-configure. All is Good after that.

Router Model Netgear R7000
Firmware Version DD-WRT v3.0-r52189 std (03/28/23)
Kernel Version Linux 4.4.302-st38 #9014 SMP Tue Mar 28 11:03:47 +06 2023 armv7l
update: CLI r52095 > r52189
reset: YES
mode: Gateway
status: Operational 12h+
errors: Nothing new, yet...VLAN set up via GUI works ok...
in order to use the new switch config tab i had to reset via nvram erase, than configured manually from scratch...ones you enable switch config tab, you need to reboot and than set up vlan or what ever..for vlans to appear in bridges tab, you need to CPU them, this router has x3 VLAN's assigned to bridges each on a LAN port, for various use..all working as it should..Thanks BS and team ! _________________ Atheros

Just curious in what way is AsusWRT Merlin better and in what way DDWRT?
I interpret your question as why DD-WRT is better than AsusWRT Merlin (LTS) for the ASUS RT-N66U.
For one, dd-wrt is regularly updated. In addition, dd-wrt comes with a much newer kernel, enabling Entware usage (as entware for mips with kernel v2.6 is no longer maintained). Plus, you have wireguard in dd-wrt. There is more, but these things already make up a good argument to change firmware. At least for me.
