ORBI RBK23 VLAN tagging / setup for both internet and iptv - Bell Fibe
Hello - I am considering replacement of the TP-Link Deco X20 device with the Netgear RBK23 Tri-band mesh wifi. We are on Bell Fibe IPTV & internet services in Ontario, Canada. What I would like to do...

Review the user manual for setup information.
Do a search here in the foruns for VLAN posts.
What is not clear to me is whether VLAN tagging is for a specific LAN port on the Orbi device or a specific SSID or broadly for wireless connections? Any additional information on this point?
I believe the VLAN tagging is for only WAN side configurations.

Sorry, I'm not clear on the response. To be more direct: once a VLAN is assigned, will a specific Ethernet port on the Orbi device now be tagged with the VLAN, or is the current wireless network now tagged with the VLAN? Another way: once VLAN tagging is enabled, do I need to plug my IPTV recieved via ethernet cable to the ORBI, or can it be connected wirelessly?
I would try wired first to see if the configuration works. Then try wireless.
Might review this:

There maybe other VLAN configuration posts as well.

I am unable to find a post that clearly statest wireless VLAN tagging is available with latest Orbi RBK50 (or other) firmware. That is the reason for my post :) The above only *asks* about a wired configuration. Additional hardware will be required (i.e. media converter) and so, before I go there, I would like to know what is *currently* possible with VLAN tagging over a wireless network using the Orbi devices.
