Hi,
I am new to DD-WRT. The reason I am getting into DD-WRT is because I want to use vlans to segregate the household teenagers LAN traffic from the rest. So I got hold of a second hand D-Link DIR-890L (rev A1) with dd-wrt preinstalled. Without reading too on the forum much I upgraded it to v3.0-r44483 (maybe that wasn't so clever).
.. notice the present vlan0ports entry and the odd port.*vlans assignments..
So I am wondering if this is a good state to start configuring my vlans - probably not. However, the router seems to be working ok as is (having a bit of issue with wifi dropouts - thats something different)
Anyway. Will I break/fix anything if I unset the vlan0ports entry and change the port.*vlans values?
.. or should I go for a reset and see if that fixes the nvram values?
Has anyone experienced something similar from a default dd-wrt setup?

This is normal for an AC router. Older routers did use vlan0.
The portXvlans variables only configures what you see in the GUI. They don't configure the switch. The numbering is from the layout of the WRT54G router.
A quick follow-up on this, in case somebody in the future wondered how it went.
I performed a restore to factory defaults using the WebUI (Administration -> Factory Defaults).
When the router came back online I configured the password and enabled SSH as the very first thing, and performed nvram readout;
