The PVID config option might exist just so they can say it exists, not because they intend it to be used.
Considering the presence (and requirement) to not forget to configure the PVID to send the untgged ingress to the correct VLAN is probably the #1 VLAN switch support issue .... figure.

This hasn't much to do with a true 802.1q VLANs where each VLAN makes up it's own network. What you try to achieve here is a so-called asymmetric VLAN config. Netgear does not have this documented (to my knowledge).

For security purposes I want VLAN 20 isolated from the other ports, and port 30 also isolated from all other VLANs.
Just to clarify: This is exactly what an asymmetric VLAN config will not achieve. It's some tricking with the source MAC sending it over different VLANs on the switch internally, but merging together at another port.
....probably something Netgear should bring up in a similar way.
