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...
I would try wired first to see if the configuration works. Then try wireless.

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.

Thank you. Unless something has changed with the firware since 2019, then this statement seems to sum it up from the link you posted: "As for managed switch I have a catalyst 3750 running happily with my Orbi in AP mode however you can’t assigned vlans to managed wireless clients like you could with a higher end AP such as something made by Aruba or Cisco."
Thanks for your help! Hope that the Netgear team will provide for VLAN tagging of multiple SSID's/wireless clients in the future!
Good Luck.
The IPTV VLAN should be bridged to a router (or more than one) port - there you can connect (by cables) the IPTV boxe(s) to. The IP addresses are coming from the ISP IPTV network, along with the video multicast streams.
The Internet VLAN will be bridged to a group where NAT will be handled. Here the Orbi behind of the NAT routing, DHCP will issue private LAN subnet adresses.
Having both over the Orbi backhaul is in my understanding not possibe, as tere is no VLAN support, while the Internet and the IPTV VLANs on the ISP side present two individual networks.
