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 ...
Hi@schumaku,
Do you mean when disabling the DHCP server function and the routing of the main router. It's possible to connect a new router to one of the network and supply VLAN to such network?

Yes, this is what I understand the OP intends to do - what is easy in the sense of a single network covering multiple VLANs and flexible router deployments can proof to be challenging if not difficult when trying to combine multiple systems including another vendor. Last but not least, Google Nest does also have Mesh options what makes the project even more complex. Said this: I'm not to deep (or deep enough) in the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 systems -and- the Google Nest environment.
Hi@schumaku,
Yes this is possible. A device should use the default gateway IP address only when they intent to go out the main router or out the internet.
Have a lovely day,
