SXK80 Satellite issues with managed switch/VLANs
Stumped here. Here's my setup: Currently running pfSense firewall router (via a mini PC) connected to a TL-SG1016DE managed switch with a SXK80 router and satellite system in AP mode. I have 4 VL...
Does it work better if you make port 1 an untagged member of vlan 1 ?
My SXK50 does not create a bridge for vlan 1. It has a bridge for untagged traffic and separate bridges for each vlan profile connected to a wireless SSID so I don't think DHCP reply traffic would ever reach the satellites if I hooked up like you show.
Quick update. I decided to do something different. I factory reset the router and setup the satellites in router mode, updated the firmware, and changed the VLAN profiles on the satellite ports. Everything looked fine (except internet which I didn't try). But the moment I switch to AP mode, everything broke.
- Only two of the satellites showed under wireless devices but both had "config sync" under status.
- The third satellite for some reason showed under wired devices connected to one of the other satellites which is not true
- The satellites did not pull new IPs from the DHCP.. they were still showing the default 192.168.1.x
- This time, however, I was able to see the satellite ethernet ports under VLAN/Bridging. The VLAN profiles had reset but was able to change two sets back. The third (the "wired" one) was not connected.
I'm starting to think this is firmware related. It's basically a useless product if they're not going to fix this.

Thanks for providing enough data.
As Animal7857 mentioned Please try this option => Does it work better if you make port 1 an untagged member of vlan 1?
I tried locally similar to your configurations except some firewall rules my network works fine in AP and Router mode.
Could you please try modifying firewall rule, just to isolate the issue.
Meanwhile I try some other configurations.

Hi vinions
Can you please share the packet capture when issue occurs .
Orbi has option to run packet capture.
1. Open Orbi ip address/debug.htm and enable Lan/wan packet capture. It will prompt for username and password. Please enter your login credentials
2. Start capture then start to recreate the issue and then click on Save Debug Log debug logs will be shared to your system.
3. Please share the logs
Refer attached screenshot.
Thanks,
