Yes using Orbi Pro as router mode. Router mode help to setup mDNS, with this feature you can set a rule so all VLAN30 services are shared to VLAN 1 and IOT(Vlan30) services from vlan1 or Vlan20 etc.
reading this, the more I'm confused about the mDNS gateway implementation on the WAX6xx.

That would be correct along with all the FW rules to pass traffic between VLANs. The key for me is to undersand if the firmware of the Obri Pro will support this config. It supports access point mode but does it support the VLANs as well?

Of course, that's the intention. However, some hours ago it came to my ears that under some conditions the DHCP does not pass to some tagged VLAN.

Can you provide details or a link to this info? This is exactly the kind of info I'm looking for.
