Orbi Pro 6: Default VLAN, Native VLAN, VLAN Hopping
After doing lots of research on VLANS and networking in order to set this Orbi Pro 6 up in the best way possible, I am still unsure about a few things that I was hoping could be clarified here. M...
Leaving alone the Multicast based discovery over from/to other networks, every ZyXEL security appliance** starting from about USD 200 can do this since about 2005. And it has nice object oriented capabilities the competition should dream of. Negear needs to learn a lot everything in when it comes to routers. When looking at the BR500/200 or the Orbi Pro 6, it looks to me Netgear needs to re-learn everything from scratch when it comes to routers for this market space. Hey BruceGuo I've offered my support for creating a competitive business router series (the vendor above obviously took the opportunity ....) a longer time ago. All I've seen is some cloud instant VPN marketing junk instead. And I fear the BR nightware will repeat soon again. Netgear makes nice switches, great wireless access points, offers a nice cloud management. But is not competitive on routers* at all.
*And no, a router is not yet another box with a LAN, a WiFi and an Internet connection (or two) in this context.
