SXK80 no internet on ethernet ports with VLAN set
I'm on firmware v3.2.6.100. I have my SXK80 router and several satellites connected to it via ethernet backhaul. On my office satellite, I set 2 of the physical ethernet ports to have a VLAN profile of ID 20, client isolation UNCHECKED, network isolation CHECKED. Anything I plug into these ports doesn't have internet access, only local network access. I've tried changing from trunk to access for the mode: no change. I've tried having both client and network isolation checked: no change. I can only get internet access on the ethernet ports if I use the Default vlan profile. Is there something I'm missing about how this is supposed to work with regards to the ethernet ports? I have my wifi SSIDs using different VLAN profiles with success.
Attached is a pic of an example set up. Circled in red is a port set to use VLAN that doesn't have internet access. If I plug it into anything with the Default VLAN profile, it'll have internet access.
I found the issue regarding my ports and connectivity issues: it was an error on my end. I had forgotten to set up the appropriate VLAN setting on my pfsense firewall that's in front of the orbi (which is in AP mode). Once I set that up properly, the ports work as expected configured to the VLAN id I set it to. So this is not an Orbi error but rather user error.

So from what I gathered from the manual is the following
Trunk Mode - Port Used For Ethernet Backhaul or WAN port.
Access Mode - Port Used a regular assigned VLAN
"Assign Access mode to a VLAN that includes ports that support client and end devices.
For the satellite, if a port is connected to the base (router), set the mode to Trunk."
Looks like you have that Port setup in Trunk Mode. Have you tried access mode?
