VLAN setup for ORBI 850

Hi,

I recently purchased the ORBI 852 (Router + one Satellite) and would like to set up VLAN for various types of wifi devices. 

 

1. Is it possible to do it in ORBI 850 admin login?

2. If not, what's the alternate option to have multiple VLAN's?

 

Note: I am using ORBI 850 as a router not AP.

 

Thanks,

Mahendar

      Thanks for confirming. Is there any other solution to enable it? buying additional equipment to complement ORBI 850, etc...?

        The residential Orbi products separate WiFi devices by SSID (primary, guest). All devices on the primary network (wired devices plus WiFi devices on the primary SSID) can communicate with each other and with the internet.  WiFi devices on the guest SSID (there is no concept of wired guest devices) can communicate only with the internet - not with each other and not with the primary network.

         

        This is probably not what you are looking for.
