Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi Pro products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi Pro and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Questions on setting up the Orbi PRO SXR80
- PPPoE setup with user name / password is same as RBR50
- The Orbi PRO VLAN setup isn't obivous:
- There are 5 Ethernet ports shown (Advanced/VLAN page), do I assume the left most is the WAN port and right 4 are the LAN?
- Out of the box, the Orbi Pro has default VLANs setup for Default (1), Guest (10), Employee (20), IoT (30)
- Is there someone to configure the VLAN 201 on the WAN port and then assume? all Internet traffic is routed to WiFi/LAN ports and still have the seperate VLANs for the WiFi/LAN ports?
- The Acces or Trunk options on each port isn't obivous to me either.
I tried adding a new VLAN with VLAN ID of 201, but was greyed out if I tried to assign to any of the ports.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks FURRYe38 - I posted my question / issue in the Orbi Pro small business forum.
I have been able to get the WiFi to work, but still having issues with wired port Internet access.
