Hi t84a,
Welcome to the community! :)
The GS108E switch is not capable of being a DHCP server. In order to achieve your goal, you will need to replace the ASUS RT-N66U with a VLAN-aware router that will also handle the DHCP for each VLAN. Since you have a dual-WAN setup, I suggest you the FVS336Gv3 VPN firewall router. Kindly check its specifications on the data sheet here.

Thanks. Can I replace the ASUS router and the Netgear GS108E with FVS336Gx3 and call it a day?
t84a,
You may replace the ASUS RT-N66U router together with the GS108E switch with an FVS336Gv3. However, you might want to consider this scenario: what if in the near future you need to add VLAN-aware devices like NAS or VoIP phones that needs port VLAN tagging. The FVS336Gv3 doesn't support VLAN tagging. You will need a switch that supports 802.1Q VLANs.
