BUG: Cannot edit "Internet" VLAN settings (e.g. Priority, VLAN ID)
Router Firmware Version
V2.0.0.74
Steps to reproduce:
1) Sign in to orbilogin.com (or whatever method)
2) Click the "Advanced" tab
3) Expand the "Advanced Setup" section in the left list, then scroll down within the list until you see "VLAN/Bridge Settings". Click "VLAN/Bridge Settings".
4) Click "Enable VLAN/Bridge group" and then "By VLAN tag group".
5) Highlight the existing/default "Internet" VLAN tag group and click "EDIT"
6) Change the VLAN ID (e.g. to 201, as I need to do for CenturyLink Fiber internet).
7) Click "APPLY"
Expected results: VLAN tag group page is shown with the new settings specified above.
Actual results: VLAN tag group page is shown with old settings; any changes are not respected/retained/saved. Using the exact steps above, the entire VLAN settings are disabled / not enabled. If you already have VLAN settings enabled, then the "Internet" group will simply remain in VLAN ID 10 -either way, it is uneditable.
Looking for Netgear help here, as this seems to be a bug in their firmware or router settings. Also very interested if others can reproduce, or whether this is just my device.
This is now fixed in 2.1.1.12 (See: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Announcing-availability-of-OrbiOS-2-1/m-p/1447612#M16893). I was able to set the VLAN ID to 201 on the "Internet" vlan and have removed the century link "modem" from the mix.

Same issue here. Really frustrating because I have to use Centurylink's silly "modem" until this is fixed.
My (hopefully) temporary workaround was to put the Zyxel into Transparent Bridge Mode, which adds the VLAN ID 201 to the ethernet frames. I basically followed this article: https://support.metageek.com/hc/en-us/articles/215467728-How-do-I-use-a-different-router-with-my-DSL-service-, just transalated the settings into Orbi settings.

I have the exact same problem. It would really be nice if Netgear would fix this soon.
