Network Topology & Security Question
Ok I have a fairly complex topology question/issue. I have my Orbi Pro 6 SXK80 all set up with the VLANS configured as follows: Port 1 - LAN 1 - VLAN 1 Admin Port 2 - LAN 2 - VLAN 2 Employees ...
Hello@MattyiceNG
And welcome to the NETGEAR Community! 🙂
For VLAN2/Port2
I guess what you can do is to access the switch GUI/settings and create VLAN 2 and have all the ports you wish to be under VLAN 2 be the member of VLAN 2 with PVID number 2 and connect it to your Orbri Pro 6 router. If that will not work try setting the port where the Orbi is connected as Tag port.
VLAN 3/Port 3
You can connect and setup an access point to port 3. You do not really need a router to make smart devices to work.
VLAN 4/Port 4
You can simply connect and setup an access point for guest wifi access.
You may choose your desired specific devices for switch or access point so I can point you to the right article for the procedure if I can find one.
Have a lovely day,
