Try an alternate port but #1 ... one which is only VLAN 7, and make one tagged for the WAN port.

First, the Smart Managed Plus switches are a little bit waek to expose to the wild Internet because of the limited security capabilities.
Is the aim just Internet VLAN - no VoIP, no IPTV?
- Create the VLAN 6.
- Configure one port - for the WAN/Fiber - to hold only VLAN 6 [T]agged.
- Configure another port - for the router WAN/Internet port - to hold onl VLAN 6 [U]ntagged, PVID 6

Hi Schmaku,
Thanks for the feedback, the aim just Internet VLAN.
I'm a noob with this... sorry.
There are 5 ports and now I have the next setting.
VLAN ID 1 port member 1
VLAN ID 6 port member 1 2 3 4 5
VLAN ID 1 - port 1 U - other ports empty
VLAN ID 6 - port 1 T - other ports U
PVID config - port 1 - 1
PVID config - all other ports - 6
I have used a static ip address in the range of the Nest router 192.168.86.50
Port 1 goes to fibermodem
Port 2 goes to WAN Nest from LAN Nest to port 3
Port 4 goes to another netger switch

I have found a screenshot with LAN settings on this forum how to get VLAN working in combination with my Netgear router.
My ISP uses VLAN 6 so I changed all the 7s in de LAN settings (see attachment) with a 6 but it's stil not working, does anyone see what I am doing wrong ?
