Internet Lost when activating VLAN/Bridge - By VLAN Tag Group

2. But the issue I haveis that as soon as I create VLAN Tagged Group with name IPTV (VLAN30), next to the default VLAN10 (Internet), my internet connection drops on my RAX120.

Are these the two VLAN required by your ISP for Internet and for IPTV?

Assume you had Internet before, there is nothing you need to change on the config for the Internet (probably pure IP does not come in tagged at all). as mentioned befre, at the risk or repeating: This is an ISP thing which is completely unrelated to the VLAN you intend to run on your LAN. There is no need to change anything on the Internet entry there at all. Only the IPTV part (as per the ISP IPTV VLAN)  must be configured.

Is this confirmed that the IPTV VLAN does go through on the pass-throug/bridge setting of the ISP box?

3. I create the VLAN30 on Port 3 and then I go from this port 3 to a VLAN30 tagged port onnmy managed swith, where I also configure 4 VLAN30 untagged ports where my decoders are connected.

Not at all.

You need to configure the ISP IPTV VLAN to be bridged to a single port on the Netgear switch. This VLAN will come to this port untagged. A cable connection from this port to another untagged port on this VLAN 30 on the switch (similar config like the media players), VLAN 30, [U]ntagged, PVID 30.

4. The reson why I do not use 1 and 2 is becasue I indeed have those already in aggregtion towards my QNAP NAS where I have two NICs also in aggregation. Works fine by the way.

Of course ... I'm still monitoring the QNAP forum for specific network issues and answering sometimes. 8-)

The second challenge is then the sepertion of my wireless SSID's:

1. I just today also installed a second WAX610 in my network. On my two WAPs I created three SSID's. Each with another VLAN ID. One for my normlinternat, onefor  guest internet and one for IoT devices.

2. I want those different SSID seperated so that devices connected to one SSID can NOT communicate with the other SSD's. 

3. But unfortunately this also doesn't work.

Of course - there is no router able to handle these additional network, no IPv4 network, no DHCP server, no many-to-one NAT routing to the public IP address. That's why I said these routers are not fit for this purpose.

YEsterday I resetted my whole switch again and tried VLAN by PORT instead of 802.1Q VLAN

---

Why oh why? If you intend to run multiple VLANs over the same network port, you need to operate 802.1q. and please for your comfort stick with the default VLAN 1 for our network...

I aslo disabled the VLAN/Bridge on RAX120 and I just assigned ports for INTERNET (VLAN ID 1) and PORTS for IPTIV (VLAN 30).

Not sure if this is the best way forward...

Configure the router VLAN grups accordingly - in my example the ISP side Internet runs on VLAN 10, the IPTV network does run on VLAN 99. One does have to configure only the Internet VLAN ID (if applicable) otherwise leave it on 0, and add one entry for IPTV with the VLAN ID where the IPTV is in place, and put it to a spare port on your router. Once done, direct connect or patch one media player/STB to this port. this must run first.

Anyway, with this setting my SSID seperation is also NOT working....

As already explained above - can't lack of router capabilities.

My setup is hoeve rnot tht much rocket science IT think:

1. Cable Modem (ADSL)

2. RAX120 Router

3. 16-port Managed swith (TP Link) with IGMP Snooping enabled

4. 2 WAX610 (connected to to POE ports of the sitch)

In my opinion, the RAX120 does not add any added value (except of WiFi 6). it can't handle the additional networks for guest and IOT stuff.

Where I have to mention that such an isolated IoT network is ONLY for IoT which is purely Internet/cloud drive. Anything where eg. a local controller is on the network and where an app on the mobile is used for controlling eg. the lights - this is utterly useless, as you certainly don't want to change the wireless network on your mobile before e.g dimming the lights...

And then again, the idea of splitting IPTV and your normal LAN/Internet - you will loose capabilities for play-to by Google Cast or Apple Airplay.

in my opinion, you will loose capabilities over running your ISP provided router where I assume the Internet access LAN and the IPTV traffic are merged on one network, one IP subnet.
