Thought I read that it creates a guest SSID though. #3 on the original post.There is a Profile option in the VLAN tab that appears to make it possible to create VLANs independent of wifi.

I tried it today and that did work. I assigned the vlan on an access port and made sure it worked without being able to access other vlans. I then went to Guest Network Pro and clicked on the guest vlan>general settings>wifi band> none.So creating a VLAN profile in the VLAN-Profiles section does indeed include a wifi interface, but it appears to be possible to disable the wifi interface by going into the guest network section and then disabling the wifi network. Definitely convoluted, but it appears to be getting close to what you may want, although VLANs on AiMesh nodes may be borked.

I have not messed with that setting yet but under Guest Network Pro you can add a VPN network with its own wireless SSID.Would it be possible to create a VLAN for a specific VPN tunnel and route all that traffic through the VLAN? (most likely yes)
… and then create a WiFi interface linked to that VLAN? By interface I guess you mean IP range.
Even better would be creating an SSID for that VLAN so that all tunnel traffic would be available via that SSID.
I’m guessing that feature is probably a no. I’m talking about creating an additional SSID not just binding to an existing one.

Main thing I want now is firewall rules between the vlans.
That too would be nice although it has not been an issue for me at this point. I do like how on the main subnet you can set the dns server for a reserved host. Bit annoying that it knocks out the network for a few seconds every time you save a new reservation though.Presumably VLANs also have DHCP config options. This is something that's missing from the ASUS GUI VLAN config options.

So, for my 2x GT-AX6000 combo on this firmware, I have found that guest networks are not working on the GT-AX6000 that is operating as an AP or as an AiMesh node. In either scenario, the satellite router creates the guest network, and I can connect to it, but there is no connectivity to the internet. Devices attempting to connect to the guest network on the AP/AiMesh node are not given a LAN IP address. I tried a band-aid fix of assigning an address manually using the values that were automatically provided by the DHCP server when the device was on the guest network of the main router, and that didn't work. I tried disabling "AP Isolated" and enabling "Access Intranet", and neither fixed the issue. So it seems that guest networks on APs or AiMesh nodes are broken on this firmware, probably for all routers that can run it.
