R8500 - VLAN Management
Hello I'm new to the forum and hopefully won't make mistakes in creating the discussion. Due to the fact that a SYNOLOGY NAS that I've just bought has some issue at keeping ibernation, I'm now in need of setting up some sort of sub-network in my own LAN to keep devices such as phones and domotic tools in control, so to prevent their broadcast packages to reach my NAS and eventually stopping it from waking up from ibernation. As far as I can see, this can be done via VLAN - But I can't figure out how to make it work on my router (R8500 Nighthawk) Before going on with the explanation, every device on my network is connected directly to the Router, let the connection be wired or wireless, without any sort of switch in the middle so won't have to worry about Layer 3 setups. I would need to put Ports 1, 4, 6 + WiFi 2.4, 5.1 and 5.1(2) into a VLAN with free internet access, while other ports should be on an internal network with internet access but no way to see other devices or to get packets from them. Is this possible? If yes, is there a way to put my PC on port 1 in condition of seeing both VLANs (that ain't a 'must' - but would be easier for me)? Thanks in advance
