So coming back to this, seems that I have found the VLAN IDs for the Orbi 970 series. 4092 is the main WLAN and IoT networks, and 4091 is the Guest Network.
However for the Orbi BE 970 series is still using the older GN 192.168.2.x subnet while the newer 770 and 870 series systems are using a newer 10.177.177.x subnet which I was now informed by NG that this uses 3890, changed from 4091.
I presume 4091 is same on AX and AXE Orbi systems as well.
And after todays testing in AP Mode, Guest Network is failing when the RBS is ethernet connected to one switch in between with VLAN ID 4091 set.
Wondering if there is a VLAN configuration combination that needs to be set on one switch to make this work right for the older GN using 192.168.2.x with VLAN 4091 using one switch and not two. The newer Orbi systems using 10.177.177x and 3890 is working and resolves the GN failing behind the RBS thats ETH connected in AP mode with one switch. Will see if we can get one switch working with the older GN subnet.
