Vlan advanced 802.1Q on Jgs524PE
I have read the manual and created some vlans but I couldnt figure out how to get the vlans to access the internat which in my case comes in on a router with no vlan capability which is on port 13. I have attached a list of the devices and ports. I want to separate devices out or in groups to enhance the traffic flow. I have an rbr50 router in bridge mode in bridge mode but maybe I can utilise that too with its vlan capability to have different blocks of ip address. I am a complete newbie and most of the videos online only show the fully managed switches. This is in a domestic setting, with a nas as you can see to back up from the various computers or two the macbook air and macmini. on 17 and 18.
Advice would be most welcome as I am tearing my hair out with this. Hopefully you will see with the products attached to the ports the best way forward.

I have made one change and connected the router to port 1

Hi PB21UK,
The VLAN capability of the Orbi allows the traffic from the ISP to bypass the router's Network Address Translation specifically for the purpose of IPTV (Page 84 of user manual).
You will need a switch with layer 3 functions, or a VLAN aware router to achieve your configuration.Best Regards,
Julien R.
