Orbi 850 VLAN - Can you configure VLANs with the desktop (not Insight) in AP mode?
I see that I have options in Insight but the desktop shows no LAN or WAN options in AP mode.
Advanced->LAN VLAN settings or whatever...doesn't exist as an option.
For some reason my satellites that were working are now no longer working. All I did was look at VLAN settings in Insight. I think just looking at them changed something but I need a better view as doing it on the phone is not getting me anywhere.
Thanks in advance!
Makes perfect sense.
Not surprised and not disappointed. It was a corner case that really only makes sense in my world.
With the ability to connect over the MoCA I may end up just going to a wireless backhaul as anything that connects wirelessly doesn't need the speed or stability of hardwired solutions. That will eliminate the need for a VLAN.
Really appreciate your help!
Just saved me about five hours of investigation and troubleshooting.

What actual router do you have? The RBK850 series doesn't support insight. That's the pro series.
And here's features disabled in AP mode

Looks like it's not PRO.
Weird.
Can I do VLANs in AP mode with this model?
vlan's for the consumer version are for iptv/fibre setups.
Just viewing the details shouldn't have made the satellite stop working through.
Are they being used with a wireless backhaul or wired?
