Hi Islepilot,
Welcome to the community! :)
I inquired your concern to the higher tier of NETGEAR Support. As per the higher tier of NETGEAR Support: "Broadcast packets don’t pass to other VLANs because each VLAN is an independent broadcast domain. Can the DEVICE send the traffic multicast? -- this might be a way around it. Otherwise, if you can get it working using the FVX538, then that might be the best you can get."

Use paper clip to hold down the reset button for 10 seconds.
That was, of course, the suggestion made near the start of this conversation:

I see no sign of the "reset" word. Tried that?
If you continue reading you'll also note that I wanted to avoid this very thing with any kind of a solution to unstick the web interface that was permafrozen and inaccessible. The idea that rebooting the router didn't make the login interface accessible is absolutely horrible product.
My solution was dripping in sarcasm but you probably missed that as well.
...but hey, thanks for taking the time to point out something completely not needed. Hope it got you an extra netgear contribution point for your profile.

So, just for fun I re-parsed the entire thread.
You are quoting back my own post to me. Since I flagged it as a solution it will be inserted as the second post, and then the post when I wrote it in chronological order. The same post will be shown twice - as designed.
Good job.
