    When is XT8 end of life?

    Hey all. I have a set of XT8's that have been working well, but I am wondering when they will become EOL. I can't find anything on ASUS's website regarding this, so thought I would ask here. Want to know when I should start thinking of replacements or upgrades. Thanks!

    XT8 and VLAN

    Hello, I understand that XT8 does not support VLANs, no config, no QoS, etc. But, does XT8 understand VLANs in a way, it would maintain VLAN tag for up/downlink? Or does XT8 drop all Ethernet traffic, which is having VLAN tags? Regards K
