MR60 / MS60 - SSID to VLAN trunking
Please Please Please, add a feature to enable tying SSID's to VLAN tags. I don't need any of the router/security features. In fact, I turn all of that off because I am using these strictly for la...

Actually you might check out Orbi Pro versions of NG MESH. Most low end or home class systems like Orbi (non Pro) and MK systems do not support any VLAN Tagging on SSIDs. It's recommended that users first research and do there due diligence in to a prospective wifi system before buying something.

Orbi pro is far too expensive.
For that kind of money, I will just get an enterprise class Cisco WLC / Aironet, Aruba, or Ruckess Wireless system off eBay that some company turned in off lease.
Looking for a WiFi6/AX system that won't break the bank, isn't too complex (don't need all the other features), but also supports SSID to VLAN tagging. So far, I haven't found one...

I would say the $200 for a 30 series Orbi pro would break the bank. I guess if your on a budget.

Hrmm, all the Orbi's I had seen were over $1k.
The MR60/MS60 was around $180-$200, and I see this Orbi RBK13 that also includes two satellites for $200.
It looks nearly identical to the MR60/MS60, and the manual appears to show it is capable of vlan tagging. Anyone know if it works well for this in layer 2 / AP mode with multiple SSID mapped to vlans?

All Orbi 1, 2, 4, 5 series are all home class systems. Same with MK series. Will not have any SSID VLAN tagging.
Orbi Pro 30 series is NG entry level business class system.
