What is the Vlan tag on the guest network?

I have my Orbi in AP mode with an EdgeRouterLite doing the routing duties. I set up the guest network on the Orbi, however I would like to assign a vlan to it, but am not sure what the tag is, Any help?

 

The orbi gives you the option to exclude the guest network from the lan when in router mode, but the option is grayed out when in AP mode, which is why I am asking.

Hello Dan_H

 

- when Orbi operates in AP mode, there is no VLAN tagging for traffic from Orbi networks (wifi main/guest and LAN) to the uplink switch
- currently in AP mode, the option "allow guest to access my local networks" is force to enable
- however, in the next firmware release, user will have the option to allow or disallow
