VLAN/Bridge Setting possible bug on R7000

Firmware version V1.0.11.106_10.2.100

 

I played around with the VLAN/Bridge Settings and I can't undone what I did.

 

I tried to put the 2.4GHz wifi on a different VLAN for an experiment, and it still is that way. I can't reach my printer or my A/C anymore. They do have an IP assigned and they can go on the internet (in fact I can only reach them from outside the network) but they're not reachable from cabled devices or devices connected to the 5GHz wifi. 

 

I decoded the cfg files using the software "RouterPassView" by NirSoft and I can see that even if VLAN/Bridging looks deactivated from both the GUI and the configuration, my attempts are still in memory: the vlan "666" does not appear if I enable VLAN and look for configurated tags, yet it is still there

 

This looks like a bug to me

    I reloaded my previous configuration without fiddling with the VLANs and my network works again as expected. I can access devices connected to the 2.4GHz WLAN from the 5GHz one and wired clients
