Need help with Vlan tagging for sxs80 wired backhaul
Hi,
I have Century Link fiber. My Orbi RBK853 worked fine with wan Vlan tagging for both the router and satellite.
However, I had to switch to the Orbi Pro system for the multiple VLAN ssid functions.
I cannot get the satellite to tag traffic both on the Ethernet ports and on the wireless connected clients to tag 201 and to get internet connection.
I suspect this is how my ports /Vlan is configured differently on the Orbi Pro.
Again, 2 units, satellite wired back haul, no internet connection from satellite but devices are connecting just fine and talking to each other on the LAN.
Thank you- I’ve been trying to get this to work for hours!

This is what my VLAN / Bridge settings look like now.
It works, but problem is that I think now its in wireless mode as the connection is rated as "fair" and my ping/speed seems slower than my RB853
I found the exact same problem someone else was having. https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-Pro-WiFi-for-Small-Business/Help-on-configuring-Wired-ports-for-Internet-access-via-Employee/m-p/2177374
I'm also on CenturyLink that requires a 201 tag VLAN, which is why my WAN is set to 201.
Is there no other solution but buying an extra switch?
What is the new beta firmware solution?
I have the new beta firmware installed.
Update,
I installed the new 4.0.0.118 firmware and I see the Bridge/VLAN tag I was using is gone. Now, there is an IPTV one I set to 201, and then I set the WAN back to 1/default and it does not connect to internet. However, when I set WAN to 201, a custom ID I created, it works but the satellite is not working again.
Also no lan ports are connecting to the internet either.
