As far as I can tell, you can’t do dynamically assigned VLANs on wireless via RADIUS on ddwrt, at least not when I looked a few years ago.

I used Merlin ddwrt which was supposed to be dedicated to ASUS hardware. At some point fiddling with wrt takes more time than the nonexistent price difference with the ubiquiti equipment :)

I still can't speak directly to your problems with the ASUS router, because I deliberately avoid devices that require Broadcom's proprietary drivers that often prevent you from using a recent kernel, and I don't use DD-WRT when I have the option of using OpenWRT instead. But from what I can tell, the feature you're looking for has been in OpenWRT for years, though I've never bothered to use it myself: https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/wireless.security.8021x#x...
Ah you’re right. Thanks for the link.

I didn’t use the ASUS for WiFi, just routing. My instability had to do with ipv6 issues - it would stop broadcasting RAs if I remember correctly causing intermittent connectivity issues. I would have to cycle power every so often (month or so?)

No such issues with the edgerouter. I’m sure OpenWRT works great for folks, I just found it wasn’t the right fit for me.
