Nighthawk RAX50 VLAN

Hi, I have the RAX50, and I am able to set 2 vlans linked to specific wired port. eg. VLAN id 40 linked to port 2.  But I cannot add a new DHCP range to the VLAN tags. 

I need 192.168.1.xxx for wifi and port 1, but I then need 192.168.40.xx for port 2?

The fact this modem has the vlan menu, I assumed I could use my managed switch to creat vlans and secure my IOT's

 

Cannot find documentation or example on how to managae the Vlans on the modem?

any answers?   Cheers Steve.

  • The RAX50 is a router, not a modem. And VLANs are there mostly for specific Internet configurations, they're not full-blown VLANs like you think they are.
