VLAN setup

Nighthawk RAX48 (AX5200)

I know about VLANs and configured them on cisco routers.  I want to separate wifi clients on both bands into to their own vlan and only allow them to send and receive traffic from the internet port.  The LAN ethernet ports will be on another VLAN and can send/receive traffic through internet port.  They must not send or receive traffic from and to wifi VLAN.  Is this something I can do on this router?

 

I only see articles on using the VLAN configuration for IPTV (which I never used) or ISP specific requirements for WAN connection but nothing on my configure above.  Thanks

      Can you recommend a custom firmware for AX5200 (RAX48) that supports VLANs? 

       

      Thanks

        There is none at the moment. Your router is too new and it'll take 3rd party firmwares a couple of years to catch up. I know FreshTomato supports VLANs as I've used them in the past, but it doesn't support your model yet.
