Yet another question about VLANs (any HowTo recommended?)

[drinkingbird]

The way this computer is set in the room, it sits very close the AX86S and it would be hard (let's say some furniture redesign) to move it. Rather I would buy a cheap smart-switch, but I don't intend.
I'm intrigued that such an basic task is so hard to set on these HND routers.

Also, in case you didn't notice in the other threads, you will likely need to disable hardware acceleration for the vlanctl filtering to work. That may impact your internet speed, so possibly another reason to go the smart switch route.

If you get it working with HW acceleration disabled, you can then re-enable it and see if it still works or not, but best to take it out of the equation while you're experimenting to eliminate the unknown.

Here is an old thread showing how to setup with cheap switch, screenshots, etc.

Yes, thank you, but this part I already solved with a smart switch. I have posted a comment above.

Yet another question about VLANs (any HowTo recommended?)

Hi folks, I see here on SNBforums and on Reddit are dozens (or maybe close to hundred) posts about VLANs on Asus Merlin routers, though I haven't found a comprehensive guide/Howto. Anyone can recommend one for my case? My main is AX86S (router mode) and also a second node AC68U that is wired...

Because of location constraints, it would be a nice to have possibility to use physical Port4(eth1) of AX86S and associate it with VLAN501 (untagged).

It is a lot easier than that now, when you enable guest network 1 with access LAN disabled on 386 code base, it automatically sends both guest VLANs tagged out of all LAN ports, so any smart switch with VLAN support will automatically work as long as you match the VLAN IDs (501 and 502). OP is looking to do it directly from the router if possible to avoid putting another switch in the path unnecessarily, however that's probably going to end up being the easiest solution.

Is this 386 code only or does it include 388 as well?

It is included in 388 also. I am on 388.2.2

[Tutorial Tp-link switch basics] Basic Vlan guide for IP or MAC isolation from others on Lan

I've searched and read lots on this topic, and now I must say I'm more confused than anything else. Can someone offer me advice, on how to stop two devices on my network from communicating with the other devices of my Lan. These devices require nothing else other than internet access and have...

Not gonna hijack this thread and will reply to the thread I linked, but I just tested this and the devices don't appear to be separated from each other with those vlan settings.
