BE98 Pro VLANs Limits

[proctorngambler]

Looking to experiment with VLANs.

Anyone know what the limit is for the number of VLANs on the Asus BE98 Pro routers?

After hours of experimenting, I found that each radio can have a max of 5 VLAN/SSIDs. So in theory, I should be able to do 20 VLANs without issue. But in reality I'm discovering that after 15 VLANs, 16th VLAN and onwards doesn't broadcast the SSID. I've tried various band combinations, even tried creating VLANs on ethernet (not Wi-Fi).

I'm also running the 3006.102.7_alpha1 so not sure if this is a bug in the firmware or a router/firmware limit.

Has anyone else come across this or know the limit of this route?

@bennor, @visortgw did a bit of work on this, possibly also @Seth Harman.

See here for example; not your model exactly, but a general GNP limit. Sounds like a lot, not sure how manageable that would be in the end, whher it would overtax the Router, especially if you're trying to propagate the VLANs to nodes.
