Well, thanks to the non-existent DD-WRT support for this router, I managed to purchase one and set it up with EdgeOS.
Between the setup wizards and online community support, it was rather simple to configure. There is nothing you can do in DD-WRT that you cannot do in EdgeOS. Sure, the learning curve is new and more extensive but there is no other choice for this router.
Between this router and a Unifi UAP-Pro I am better off than a traditional alI have ever been with a traditional, consumer-grade router.
dd-wrt works without any problems on the Edgerouter Lite 3 and the Edgerouter Pro 8.. I have posted instructions on how to install dd-wrt on these devices in this forum.
The er3-lite you just remove the USB drive and write the dd-wrt image fie with win32image on a windows machine to the USB drive then put it in the edgerouter and you have dd-wrt.

I flashed the latest image on a different Flash Drive and inserted in the router. It booted up fine but what do I need to get the activation code? It seems the login to these forums wont work at the Activation center from the top right corner of this page I am on now too.

Just wanted to add when DDWRT loads up and I go to 192.68.1.1 in IE I get a beautiful login prompt to change the login/password to the router. SO I do that then the screen goes away and nothing. I even step away for 10 min and still browser is spinning. I do a reset on the Edgerouter lite I get the prompt for log in change and instead of doing that I go to services to try to customize DHCP and WAN. Services tab will not come up on the screen I just get the spinning in the tab I am on waiting on the router. I guess it not meant for the general public this firmware. The log in page is pretty though, so what comes next?
I did not overwrite the original USB I used a new USB I made fit with out cheap plastic casing,
