Do Newest Orbi systems have VLAN tagging for Wifi Clients?
I've seen notes from 2019 that Vlan tags cannot be applied to wifi client devices. Has this changed? If not, why not? What exactly is the point of having 3 SSIDs? Is this for only for throttling?...

Only thing really tied to the WAN side is the Guest Network, and this would be isolated from the main LAN side.

The advertising is misleading. With all the talk of "security" I was led to think that the IoT SSID was WAN only. 😞

Thanks for the pointer!
You are correct, and I've verified that the Guest network is WAN only, so I'll connect my IoT server-based devices to the guest network. That solves my isse

Some IP table tricks are prohibiting certain traffic between the different SSIDs. It's still LAN, and still on the same physical network - certain traffic is allowed only from/to the NATed side pointing to the WAN.

Yes, but better than nothing.
