I had a linksys wrt-150N with a broadcom chip that cant do vlans. Gave it to my daughter and now I also have a WHR-G300N which should support vlans, but I have not bothered as I just got another ethernet card and stuck (bridged) the AP on that. Better performance, more secure and much easier all round. BillK
