SXK80 Satellites turn pink as soon as I use VLAN tagged network
SXK80 in AP mode with 2 satellites (Latest firmware V4.2.1.120) - VLAN tags provided by pfsense router. (VLAN30 and VLAN50) - smart switches throughout (Trunked and tagged appropriately). VLAN setup...
ETA for FW release is end of July.
Welcome to the community! 🙂
Was everything working fine before you have updated your SXK80 to the latest firmware v4.2.1.120?

- Hi DaneA
No change unfortunately. I updated to the latest hoping it would fix it.Just to verify. Do both VLANs 30 and 50 work on your pfSense router? If you remove the SXR80 in AP mode and the 2 SXS80 satellites, are the computers connected to the pfSense router able to get proper IP Addresses from their respective VLANs?

Hi DaneA
Yes. Removing Orbi from Network makes no change to the hardwired machines using VLANs. They all get their IP's and DNS servers accordingly and work without issue.
I also did a test using a secondary smart switch with various VLANs 'untagged' on outlets to check the process again. Computer added to each port got the relevant Ip addresses for each vlan and worked no problems.
What was strange was I noticed the Orbi satellite turned pink in this case??? Not even using Wifi here but still turned pink.
I have also double checked STP settings on all switches in use to ensure only one root switch.
Again, using the default VLAN (1) for my main wireless gives no issue. As soon as there is any traffic using a VLAN other than default, the satellites turn pink.
