Nov 10, 2021Nighthawk R6700v2 and GS308EP VLAN setup
Is it possible to take my netgear router,and netgear switch that I haven't bought yet, and get it setup to segement out different networks and use ACL to accomplish what I want? Any tutorials on setting this up? I am pretty sure the nighthawk 6700v2 won't do this network setup, but perhaps if I buy the GS308EP switch I could set it up to do all of this? maybe not. It seems the router is very limited on the vlan configuration page...
For example, I'd like to have 6 networks.
172.16.1.0/24 - hard wired
172.16.2.0/24 - wireless 5ghz (private)
172.16.3.0/24 - wireless 2.4ghz (private)
172.16.4.0/24 - wireless 5ghz (guest)
172.16.5.0/24 - wireless 2.4ghz (guest)
172.16.6.0/24 - NVR and cameras

Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Switch products and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:
