Hi all,
maybe someone help me, question is - how i can get in N-66U Vlans (802.1q teg)? for my small network will be good to get 802.1q, need use management vlan (to manage this equipment), wifi vlan (for client), also for port vlan (manage integrate switch).
this device have a good performance, but software do no provide all functional.
thnaks) and sorry for my english)
 
Here is the port config for your router:

#Robocfg port mapping
#Model { WAN L1 L2 L3 L4 CPU }
#RTN66U: { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 }

You can use these commands for help:
brctl show
robocfg show

So port 0 will be the WAN port and 1 2 3 4 will the 4 LAN ports and 8 is CPU. First you all you will have to enable JFFS and custom scripts under administration I believe and then enable telnet/ssh. Telnet to the router create a script 'services-start' in /jffs/scripts/ folder using Vi

should be like :
1) RT-AC87U-B498:/tmp/home/root# vi services-start
2) press i for inserting and text
3) paste the script using ctrl+v or shift+ins
4) To delete a line first press ESC to get out of insert mode of VI and then press 'dd' this deletes complete line
5) To save the file press ESC key and then ':wq'
6) if you do mistake and want to cancel you can quit from Vi using !q something like that(I don't remember that of top of my head)
7) After you made the script you need to make sure its executable. You have to type this command : chmod a+rx /jffs/scripts/*

It normally serves if your router is in AP mode but in router mode you can just create Guest network and it would work.

If you are using it as a router you can follow this thread and create a seperate vlan for LAN ports and create guest network for guest wifi.

http://www.snbforums.com/threads/fo...guest-network-for-asus-merlin-rt-ac68u.18969/

Remember your ports will be like these:
#Model { WAN L1 L2 L3 L4 CPU }
#RTN66U: { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 }
 
sorry to jump a thread but didn't want to create yet another one on the same thing lol. I'm doing the same thing but nothing seems to work even though nvram and robocfg are showing everything created. DHCP doesn't work either and there are no errors in system log about dnsmasq being stopped now. Could some look at my settings and see if I'm missing something or set something incorrectly please?

Careful with VLAN ID's below 10, some of those, esp. below 5, as used for different things.
 
ok thanks. I am changing them to vlan40/50 now. Other than that do my scripts look correct do you think?

Looks ok - be sure to test it - and I would add some comments inside the script just so one remembers why it exists ;)
 
what mean robocfg? why i have same VLAN ID for port 0 and 4?

from what I understand robocfg shows you your port assignments and can be used to set up vlans? it looks like you have either dual wan set up or port 4 is assigned to your wan vlan. I am by no means knowledgeable on this and just started learning all this. Hopefully someone can give a more intelligent answer for you?
 
I updated my services-start script corrected above and will probably need to follow a guide on guest wifi that's posted here as wl0.1 users can connect but aren't getting an address. I also notice this running robocfg that vlan40 and vlan50 aren't created and tagged to port 4 but show under brctl and ifconfig. Close but no cigar. Anyone have any ideas on what I'm missing?

arrrg this is so frustrating. I know its easy but I cant wrap my head around it. dhcp doesn't work for br1/br2. wl0.1 2.4ghz is guest and I can connect but no dhcp. vlan40 doesn't show in ifconfig or brctl yet does with nvram show| vlan.ports or hwname. I am going to reflash tomato and see if I can somehow see what commands are being passed from the gui as all this does work when set up in tomato. I do not want to move away from merlin at all so got to figure a way to get this to work in merlin.
