HiI have the SXK80 Router and Ethernet Port 1 is connected to Modem(Internet) which has default VLAN 1 assigned and Ethernet Port 2 is connected to a 4 port switch and configured to VLAN 2. Port 3\4 have computers connected to it. I have another VLAN 3 setup as IOT The switch has Printer and Computer and Security Camera connected to it. Now problem is everything is going through VLAN 2 as the switch is connected to port 2, but how do i configure the Orbi to say that SecurityCam should be routed to VLAN 3 (IOT) I want to utilise the switch as i dont want to remove the camera from the switch and plug it directly to the Orbis spare port. Can orbi Pro be configured in such way? do i need additional equipment? or am i doing somthing wrong? Any help appreciated. Thanks

Thanks Jerald Its a shame you dont get this out the box! I paid £1000+ for a business wifi router router and doesnt allow you to creat rules to allow you to talk to other vlans (inter-VLAN routing) Bit disappointed and will consider returning this. I see others have also suggested inter-VLAN routing in the suggestions and nothings been implmented to date? anyway, appreciate your response Thanks

Hi NemoNeil, Just would like to clarify regarding the inter-VLAN routing on the SXR80. All VLANs should be able to communicate if network isolation is disabled for all VLANs, please see screenshot below: Now, when network isolation of any of the VLANs are enabled, those cannot communicate with the other VLANs on the network anymore. Adding to that, the Orbi Pro only does port-based VLANs and not 802.1Q VLANs. Apologies on my previous reply as it was vague and I hope this clarifies it. Please let us know if you have further concerns. Regards, JeraldM NETGEAR Community Team

NemoNeil, Welcome to the community! For your requirement, you would need inter-VLAN routing which isn't supported on the SXR80. In that case, we suggest raising this on our Ideas Exchange section here. Regards, JeraldM NETGEAR Community Team

Assume Router is in "Router mode". WAN is connected with a modem LAN1 is with VLAN2. The switch is under VLAN 2 so camera, printer, computer are under VLAN 2 as well. I guess you consider camera is an IOT device. So you want to assign VLAN3 IP to the camera. Then, PC under VLAN 2 can communicate with camera under VLAN3? If my understanding is correct, you need to configure: downlink port of SXR80 in trunk mode and with default VID. Configure uplink port of the switch in trunk mode. Configure VLAN3 in the port that camera connects to Configure VLAN2 in the port that Printer and PC connect to It make sure the uplink port and downlink port can forward tagged packet without modification. Then, PC and camera can communicate when they are in different subnets. Router can route the packets. Bruce

Hey Bruce So router is in Router Mode To simplyfy : Port 1 = Connected to ISP Modem = VLAN ID 1 (Trunk Mode)Port 2 = Connected to an unmanaged 4 port Switch = VLAN ID 2 (Trunk Mode) - SWITCH PORT 1 = CCTV - SWITCH PORT 2 = HIVE Heating - SWITCH PORT 3 = Printer - SWITCH PORT 4 = EMPTYPort 3 = Connected to PC 1 = VLAN ID 3 (Access Mode) Port 4 = Connected to PC 2 = VLAN ID 4 (Access Mode) I assume I cannot assign VLAN's to the devices on the Switch and would require a Managed switch? The Orbi Pro cannot do this?Also if I want to set specific rules on Inter-VLAN communication, i cannot do this as Jerald mentioned Hope this makes sense

    Router can route the packets.
