SXR30 & WAX610 - VLANs & SSIDs
Hi
Relative newbie who has inherited a router issue, so help would be very much appreciated.
In the absents of a replacement for our BR200, I have read on the forums that you can use a SXR30. However, it appears to come with pre-sets for both VLANs & SSIDs & only supports 4no. SSIDs. So, we are not sure if it will be man enough.
We currently run a GC728X Switch with 2no. WAX610 with 6 SSIDs with corresponding VLANs. I am assuming the number of VLANs will not be a problem as I see you can add more to the SXR30. I'm also assuming that there is a router mode for the SXR30 & if we turn that on, & thus disable its Wi-Fi, the WAX610s can take over that role.
Essentially, what we need to do is connect our existing network to the internet with a replacement router. Any suggestions would be great.
Many thanks.

Many thanks Jerald & for the warm welcome.
Oh, ok. So if I’m understanding this correctly:
1) If I disable Wi-Fi on the SKR30, I can use all 6 existing SSIDs & corresponding VLANs in the LAN through the GC728X & 2no. WAX610.
2) However, when it comes to internet access, I can't just plug a trunk cable into a SKR30.
3) There aren’t enough ports on a SKR30 for all 6 VLANs
4) So, I would have to maybe configure one additional VLAN to 'access' between the SKR30 & GC728X & allow all the other VLANs to access it in order to be able to reach the internet?

Does Netgear not do an Insight Router capable of 802.1Q?
