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.
I am concerned to see this as I was planning to upgrade to the SXK50 or SXK80 specifically to use as an AP with VLANs.
I use an Orbi RBK today as router and wifi because I did not know it lacked vlan support when originally purchased it. This is no longer acceptable with three people working at home and two of us having a fair amount of work specific hardware provided to us for use at home.
I will temporarily setup a pfsense router as I am familiar with it, but my company will be providing an SD-WAN device as the main router and will configure VLAN's to split my work domain from all the other stuff in the home. I like the brand and use several netgear switches also.
I can understand Netgear wanting to manage the whole pie, but if they are not working well as a pure AP, I need to look elsewhere. Any status update on this firmware fix becoming GA for all of these devices?
ETA for FW release is end of July.
Is it possible to get this firmware sent to me? I am experiencing what appears to be a similar issue related to satellite traffic dropping vlan tagged traffic.
