Netgear Nighthawk MK93S vlan support in AP mode
Hi All,
I am looking at setting up a "Netgear Nighthawk MK93S" (https://www.netgear.com/home/wifi/mesh/mk93s/) in AP mode, behind a Firewalla Purple SE (https://firewalla.com/products/firewalla-purple-se), and would like to setup network segmentation using vlans on the Firewalla (e.g. https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408644783123-Network-Segmentation#h_01GQGCDQEPH11EGQX2SNPZAF4X).
Does anyone know if this would work with the Nighthawk MK93S? I can't find any documentation saying if it supports vlans in AP mode.
If it doesn't, does anyone know which of the current model mesh systems do work? It looks like the Obri Pro series is no longer available on the Netgear site (https://www.netgear.com/home/wifi/mesh/listing-filter/orbi/).
Thanks!

The first thing to do is to check this:

The consumer equipment's vlans is more directed towards IPTV services and not network segregation.
If you're wanting true vlan's, you need to look at the business class equipment from netgear.
