RS280 - Rebooting kills wifi radios when VLAN tag group is enabled
I got the RS280 (A router sold by Costco similar to RS300) setup and running well but i'm running into a consistent issue with the WIFI radios not enabling on boot. I had to enable a VLAN tag group on 201 so that the router can connect so my ISP. Everything works great until the router is rebooted. Once rebooted the WIFI radios are disabled and a yellow warning is shown under the WIFI section in the basic settings.
The only way i've found to reenable the radios is to connect via ethernet, disable VLAN / Bridge group, save, then enable it again.
The internet still works on ethernet so the VLAN is being applied on boot, but this somehow causes the router to disable the wifi radios.
This becomes a problem when there's a power outage while i'm away from home.
I tried firmware 1.0.0.38 and 1.0.0.50. I've also reproduced this issue on 2 separate RS280s so i do not believe this is a handwear issue.

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended
I recommend opening up a support ticket on this and let NG know about this.
