Can I have 2 WiFi and one with proxy setup?

Hi there!

 

I'm interested in buying Orbi WiFi 6E Mesh however I'm wondering what sort of settings / configurability is available.

 

In particular, it'd be great if I can configure two WiFi SSIDs, say "regular" and "proxied", where "regular" is as normal as it can be, with "proxied" one being routed through a SOCKS server remotely that I have control of.  What I'd like to achieve is, my device could just connect to "proxied" to have all its traffic routed through my SOCKS server, while it can just connect to "regular" whenever I don't want such a behavior.

 

Is this possible?

    The 960 series has an option for separate IoT, Guest Network and 6Ghz separate SSID networks, however can't be routed or configured for SOCKS services.
