NETGEAR MR80/MS80 (MK83) EasyMesh with VLANs
Hello, I have been using a NETGEAR MR80 Router (the Router of the MK83), firstly as my main router (Modem into the WAN port) along with two extenders NETGEAR MS80 Satellites both via a wired back...
vlans are more business class devices and access points. The MK system isn't business class. Its consumer grade and its vlan's is just for IPTV setup, not using vlans on switches.
If you're using a managed router switch, the satellites need to be connected to the MR80's lan ports, not managed switch.
They're not vlan manageable.
But I don't understand why they worked without VLANs enabled and they were going through switches then?
Also if the tags are being stripped on the switch ports before going into the Satellites then they aren't really using a VLAN?

No idea where from the VLAN configuration idea came from originally.
