The menu for configuring VLAN tagging is a little unclear, I only need to tag traffic going in/out from the WAN connection, but I can't see if that's the default function or if it's adding that tagging to all traffic on my network? It seems like all traffic is tagged?My ISP requires internet traffic tagged as vlan 35 to differentiate it from tv, voice, etc.I've had it set up for a while, but I get weird network behavior when roaming between APs/Base and I'm wondering if this is part of the problem?

Could you please post a link to the ISP instructions regarding VLAN? The reason I ask is that the most common ISP use of VLAN is specifically for IP TV, not for general internet traffic. (i.e. exactly the opposite situation) Orbi routers provide this IP TV capability.

Thanks for that link to the Bell Community Forum. Just to clarify, is the goal to: Connect the Orbi 970 system to the Bell Home Hub 3000, or Remove the Bell Home Hum 3000 entirely and connect the Orbi router directly to....?

The home hub has been disconnected for a while now. I've used it successfully with another router, but keep trying to get this system to work based on the promised awesomeness. Lol.Basically there's a fiber to lan interface that connects via ethernet to the wan port and the router connects/logs-in via PPPoE. (This was broken at first with these units as well, but thankfully they fixed it)

Thanks. Very clear. Can you please describe more about what happens when the 971 router WAN port is connected to the fiber unit and the PPPoE credentials are used to log in? i.e. Does the Orbi report that is "has internet"? Are any devices able to reach the internet? The initial post mentioned issues when roaming between Orbi units. Does it work normally except for that?

WAN port needs to use VLAN 35 for all traffic going in and out.
