my question is about Vlan's on switch ports, not only eth0/eth1 ports of NPU.
On example, old controller Broadcom bcm5354 (with 5-port switch) can be configured with any vlan (but only with id from 0 to 15) on any of 5 ports - its managed switch.
I think , that this gigabit switch is managed too.
But we need configuration utility ( or utility + kernel module.) for configuring this switch .
Plus of managed switch:
we can link router to 2 or 3 uplinks and reserve (or balance) our internet channels.
we can bridged 1 internal port with WAn - for multicast traffic (for iptv)
+ isolated DMZ port...

this version of dd-wrt can manage ports of switch ?
(access port / trunk with tagged vlan's)
I'm not really sure what you mean, but take a look at the screenshot attached, this is the 'Networking' tab.
Looks like there are some 'Bonding' and VLAN options
I get the point, can be useful if you have more than one connection, can't find that option here tho.
According to Realtek the RTL8366SR switch should be able to do that:
Quote:
In router applications, the RTL8366S(R) supports Port VID (PVID) for each port to insert a PVID in the VLAN tag on egress. When using this function, VID information carried in the VLAN tag will be changed to PVID.
and
Quote:
* 802.1Q VLAN supports for 4096 entries
* Supports Port-based, Tag-based, and Protocol-based VLAN
* Up to 4 Protocol-based VLAN entries
* Supports per-port and per-VLAN egress VLAN tagging and un-tagging

OpenWRT can do this. luci has an interface for that.
I think, this ultility can work under dd-wrt...

Hi all.
Decided to try dd-wrt and I'm having a problem with the Wifi security.
I'm using my dlink as wireless access point and configured it accordingly. Even used the suggestions from this page http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Access_Point
However, I can't get it to work when I enable any type of wireless security.
With wireless security disabled, the PCs that I connect to the 825 properly acquire an ip address provided by my main router DHCP server.
With the same configuration except with (any type) of wireless security enabled, even though I'm able to connect to the wireless network, I cannot acquire an ip address.

Anyone has any suggestions?
Are you sure you did a 30/30/30 Hard reset?
If not: do, if you already did: do it again.
If you have Windows: make sure your pass phase is correct & reboot your system.
If it still doesn't work after that try reflashing it with the same firmware.
I have no trouble with WPA or WPA2, both TKIP&AES encryption, works like a charm, both on 2,4Ghz & 5GHz. _________________ D-Link DIR-825 (DD-WRT std v24-sp2 build 18024)
Linksys WRT54GS v4 (DD-WRT mini v24-sp2 build 14896)
Just bought the DIR-825 and i'm interested in flashing to DD-WRT (used this with my old linksys)
My question is the wireless signal strength -- is it improved at all with the dd-wrt firmware as opposed to stock? I'm using a DAP-1522 to connect my xbox to the router but i only get a 20% signal strength on the 5GHZ band. Any info on this?
I tried to flash the firmware to DD-WRT last night after being frustrated with dlink's software rebooting the router on each little change. Didn't work, it kept telling me it was invalid firmware and wouldn't let me flash. I have revision B of the dir-825 router and am currently running 2.02NA firmware.

Thanks for your help, hellbringer.
Tried it all, still I'm unable to maintain a proper connection over wifi. Either the connection drops every 3/4 minutes or so or it just stops working. This when using any kind of wifi security, if wifi is unsecured it works ok, however I'm not willing to maintain an insecure network.
I am having problems flashing mine. I have tried the way listed in the open wrt tutorial and the light just keeps flashing and never does anything. I cant get it to flash through the web interface either.

I had the same issue as well because I forgot when its flashed to DD-WRT the IP changes to 192.168.1.1 its NOT 192.168.0.1 anymore unless you change it back. So far so good with mine, hope all the misinformed features get corrected soon though, like I can't tell which wifi band is which (2.4/5Ghz) etc. Pretty lights on the front as well need fixing.
