how to assign LAN port to VLAN ?
I setup 4 SSIDs corresponding to 4 VLANS (admin/default, Home, Work/IOT, and Guest). I have a requirement to use a wired connection from a work computer being used at home. So I want to assign the LAN port which is plugged into that work computer to the "Work/IOT" VLAN. What are the steps to do this?
From what I can see the only way to force a specific computer to a specific VLAN/SSID is for the default admin VLAN 1 using "address reservation". I dont have rights to manually change the IP on the work computer to be in the xxx.xxx.20.x range for the Work/IoT LAN But perhaps this isnt even the right approach anyway?
Can I assign a wired computer to any of these other VLANs other than than the defaiult vlan1?
For anyone reading this with the same question, this question was actually answered on https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-Pro-WiFi-for-Small-Business/Can-Wired-LAN-connectivity-be-configured-on-VLANs-2-4-on-the/td-p/2348452 I just didnt see the resolution that got posted.
The UI experience for this threw me but makes sense now that its explained,

Of course, you can. Consult the fine Orbi Pro WiFi 6 AX6000 Tri-band WiFi System (SXK80) User Manual starting from p.121 LAN settings ... ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup > LAN 1
p.123 Change the employee LAN 2 settings
ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup > LAN 2
p.124. Change the IoT LAN 3 settings
ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup > LAN 3
p.125 Change the guest LAN 4 settings
ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup > LAN 4.
