VLAN on US RBR20?
I'm interested in removing my ISP's modem/router and setting up my Orbi RBR20 to directly connect. I attempted this once with no luck, but I've heard that it won't work without setting up VLAN. Searc...
What is this device that isn't working? Some ISP supplied devices for TV or media services require the user of the ISP supplied modem/router for use with there streaming service devices.
The any orbi RBR only works as a router and needs to have a ISP supplied Modem or ONT or some forum ISP supplied services to the WAN side othe RBR router at all times for internet access.
Can try this option:
Configure the modem back to router mode, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode. See if this helps with the one particular device to connect to the modem for it's services, while the rest of your devices connect to the Orbi system.

Searching the forums and the internet, I see that there are Orbis with a "VLAN" section on the sidebar of "Advanced Setup", but I don't see it on mine.
Is there a way to set up VLAN on my RBR20?
Thanks!

I have a Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant. It used to support the "hassio.local" URL, but now only works with the IP. Also, it's ability to play nice with HomeKit is very intermittent. Sometimes it works, but often my devices are in a "no response" state, which didn't happen prior to using the Orbi.

I have two Pi's, one running Pi-Hole for ad blocking and the other for "fun". Both seem happy with Orbi. I will install Home Assistant and give it a try. Unfortunately, no "Apple World" here. In fact, I may have to dig out some gizmos to control with Home Assistant.
Since this is "new to me", what is "hassio.local"?
"hassio.local" is just their friendly dynamic URL. If you don't set a statis IP on the router, that URL will work no matter what the IP is.
…if it's working.
Have fun with HA!
