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.

There was a post a few hours ago by secdoc -> here

Completely untested on my side, as I don't own a Orbi Pro 6 test sample.

  Thanks, that mirrors what I've read. I saw the original post but was hoping newer firmware had addressed the issue. Doesn't look like it based on that latest post.

    Hi MetalGeek and schumaku ,
    
    In AP mode mDNS feature is grayed out meaning not applicable, So we have to make it work using upper router .
    
    Where as you can define vlans in AP mode, But should have dhcp server running in upper router.
    
    Thanks,
