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.
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.
Thank you for your response. 🙂 Kindly try to perform a factory reset on both the SXR80 and the two SXS80 satellites. Then set them up again and observe if the same problem will occur.

Hi DaneA,
Ok, have performed full factory reset on all units. Re-setup in AP mode which was auto detected.
I added one secondary wifi network with factory vlan flag (20). I left the factory vlans intact and did not add any others. There is no other changes. No changes to any of the port settings.
As soon as I join the secondary wifi network that is tagged with vlan, satellites turn pink and then network falls over.
Doing a simple ping to router/gateway shows as getting a response for a few replies and then nothing.
As soon as I disconnect from secondary wifi network and rejoin main wifi network satellites turn blue and network stability returns.
So no difference has occurred from full reset.
