Will the Orbi Pro be getting vlan support? It seems a basic requirement for a business in a product that is offering multiple ssids, particularly for the guest wifi
Every word above is correct.
Orbi Pro is intended as a throw-in standalone solution, not to integrate with existing infrastructure. And yes, the underlying consumer type design has an impact on the performance in AP mode. Don't know exactly what goes wrong with DNS and under what conditions on Orbi Pro in AP mode - some Netgear WiFi routers (router or AP mode) don't allow configuring a DNS IP from the same subnet, others are capturing the DNS traffic why ever (ridiculous!), ....
Netgear stated several times that implementing VLAN for Orbi Pro is out of scope.
Head to the Netgear Small Business products and look into the Insight managed devices - much (yes MUCH!!!!) easier to deal with in Insight mode than bunches of consumer hardware boxes - and it's among other features supporting industry standard VLANs.
YeZ hope I'm correct here.
