Will the RBR20 / RBS20 pass through vlan tagging via wired backhaul path in AP mode?
So I have a wired router with vlans set up which connects to a managed switch. Into the managed switch I have my Orbi RBR20 connected in AP mode and then backhaul ethernet connected to the other side...
Try a non managed switch behind the RBS. GS105/108 or GS308 would work nicely. Since you only have one managed switch using VLAN configs, you'd only need a non managed switch here.
The Orbi RBR20/RBS20 system Ethernet ports do not support VLAN tagging. (or any sort of VLAN).
My (limited) understanding of VLAN technology is that once data packets arrive at any device that does not support VLAN tags, the tags are lost. Maybe the packets even disappear??
I'd give this zero chance of working.
