Hi, I'm pretty sure OpenWRT supports VLANs. I started using it on a Buffalo WHR-G300N (I think, not at home to check right now.) Cheap and I didn't expect much but it works great (far better than any Linksys or trendnet products I've purchased and run their firmware on.) I'd highly recommend it. Todd
