Nighthawk RAXE300 router and VLAN tagging
Question to confirm what I've been experiencing with this router while trying to set it up with my centurylink fiber internet. I've scoured the forums for almost a week and half and found a lot of p...
I am also having this issue, and even when I manually enable the port with the inspector, and update the firmware to the latest with my phone's internet, this option is unavailable. I can only conclude this router doesn't support the feature despite the in menu help suggesting as much.
Continuing a discussion from 2024 is sometimes not entirely useful. It is often better to begin a new conversation.
Yes the RAX300 WiFi router does support creating a VLAN Tag Group. See page 95 of the User Manual:

Please read the information carefully. Netgear consumer routers do not support VLAN on the internal network. Some ISPs require that IPTV and IP phone service not be hidden behind Network Address Translation (NAT) and these VLAN tags are for that purpose.
Basically, if the ISP says users should use a VLAN tag, this feature applies the tag to the WAN port. It cannot be detected on the internal network.
