VLAN tagging - 802.1q?
Hi all, I'm looking at buying either a SXK80 or SXK50 system, and will be using it in "AP mode", using a Firewalla purple as the router / firewall. I want to verify though - when the Orbi Pro do...

Hi
I have the same setup as you described and my recommendation is to hold your purchase until netgear fixes an issue they have when using VLAN in AP mode and multiple Satellites.
Thanks

Are you referring to the "known issue" in the V4.2.3.102 firmware, or something else?
- hermesromerorJan 26, 2023Apprentice
Not sure if its the know issue because I tried with only 1 satellite and it was pretty unstable.

Thanks.. I need to buy now (long weird story), but won't be using the vlan functionality for a little while - hopefully the issue gets resolved by then.

Where is your issue description? I only see this "SXR50 tagged VLANs for SSIDs and AP mode". It looks a user network configuration problem. Please let me know what's your issues with topology and configuration descriptoion.

He means the issue included in the release notes:
- When the SXR80 router is connected to multiple SXS30 and SXS80 satellites, wireless clients that connect to wireless network 3 with the VLAN feature enabled cannot access the Internet.
Workaround: Reload the wireless configuration or disable the VLAN feature on wireless network 3.
Besides that, this is a know issue by netgear support. It has been replicated and they are looking for a solution. I had to disable the vlans on my system.

Hi
If you reconfigue setting, the problem will not be happen anymore. What's your case ID in Netgear support system.
