Untag VLAN
Looking for some guidance on "untag VLAN" as suggested by Google. I have an ISP router from Movistar with a Fiber Optic connection and they have suggested I do not use Bridge mode on their router...

Have installed a Google HOME NEST ROUTER and 3 points
In common consumer networking mesh terms, the answer would be to operate the Mesh system in access point mode. This would be the right approach operating a mesh system on the [whateverISPnamehere] to operate on a single LAN.
The big problem is that Google is nowhere on these Nest routers and points: There is no AP mode, even the ability to connect it direct to have both Data and IPTV on the LAN is massively crippled, not only because of the preset VLAN selection. Nice idea, nice design, but kinda-junk level design.

No AP/bridge mode on a multi-Point Google nest config. Only with one router, or multiple routers (not sure about the points) each as a dedicated location).
Sorry for the bad news - but in no way a Netgear thing.
