RS500 Vlan causes no internet
Alright, I have been messing around with my two routers (RS500 & RAX80) My main router (RS500) has Vlan Tag groups which I set up for my IoT devices. VLAN ID 20, VLAN priority 2, over WiFi 2.4...

Page 94 of the RS500 User Manual describes the use of VLAN which some ISPs require to provide internet.

This is NOT a method to create virtual networks to segregate internal traffic, i.e. what we commonly think of as VLANs. Netgear's residential routers do not provide that capability.
By defining a VLAN on the WAN port, you have essentially cut off internet access

Also check the RS router. There maybe a separate IoT SSID network feature there. I know on later models there is.
