Orbi vlan + wireless printer via usb

Will the USB port on the Orbi router or Orbi sattelite support wireless printing via plugged in printer very soon? Also why does the Orbi not support vLAN tagging out of the box, which has me hoping this also is coming very soon, the Nighthawk range supports both. I'd like to use Orbi as primary router with Vodafone Fibre an currently it's current setup is capped by these limitations.

    Hello Maumentum 

     

    As of right now the USB is for future use.

      Thanks DarrenM but what about vLAN tagging, will the Orbi ever support this? All my Vodafone fibre connection needs is vLAN tagging on Orbi

        VLAN tagging is on the road map but we currently don't have an ETA as its not high priority at this time. In the next firmware release we will add VLAN bridge on the routers LAN port only for ISP in Singapore. This may work for you as long as his ISP use same config as ISPs in Singapore.
