    evel I'm using Kong Mod from myopenrouter.com. It's a straightforward process on how to replace the firmware (just look at the latest article). For VLAN tagging, you'll need to create a VLAN on eth0 (default WAN) interface (Setup->Networking) and assign a newly created port as WAN port on the same page. Once you're online - you can easily do the rest (wifi, services, etc). WIFI->LAN works right away.

     

    Thx, Mansus.

Netgear support acnowledged the issue to me, this I could show to the store I bought it from after About two months trying to fix this with support.
It is not doing what it supose to do and store agreed and i got a ASUS now, imo superior to what I had in every way and cheaper.

I lose my patience faster I guess, specially on products with this price point.
I didnt want to fiddle around with custom firmware also, for me it should be my way for €250 product of this category

Compared to asus, its night and day!!!!

I performed test from LAN to wireless. LAN client was unable to access shares from wireless client. If I changed connection from LAN to wireless there was no issue with access.

 

Netgear Agent asked me to provide:

Configuration file from router

Screenshot of advanced tab from router

Wireshark dump from LAN client (ping/SSH/HTTPS/...) to NAS

Wireshark dump from Wireless client (ping/SSH/HTTPS/...) to NAS

 

More update soon.
