I have set up a VLAN guest network on an Asus BE7200 router using its Guest Network Pro, isolated from main network per the "intranet access" setting. The guest SSID is propagating through an AIMesh network of nodes (2 AC3100, an AX1800S, and an AC68U all with the latest firmware.) Because a wireless Reolink E1 camera on the VLAN guest network (ID: 53) can no longer FTP recordings to a wired main network NAS, a QNAP 251B running QTS 5.2.6.3229, I want to configure another NIC on the QNAP, add the VLAN to it, and FTP to that IP address. My attempt at this is not working, below:
The NAS has 3 active and connected network adapters:
#1: 1g ethernet with IP and subnet on main intranet set as gateway, connected to Ubiquiti 150 Managed PoE Switch; the connected switch port is set to allow all tagged VLANs.
#2: 10g ethernet with IP, subnet. and gateway of the guest network 53 VLAN, connected to Ubiquiti switch, the connected switch port is set to allow all tagged VLANs. The VLAN was added to the NIC via “add VLAN” option in Network & Virtual Switch app>Inferfaces.
#3: USB 5ghz wireless dongle with IP, subnet, and gateway of the guest network 53 VLAN.
QNAP FTP settings in QuFTP:
Port 21
Unencrypted FTP
Service Binding not enabled — all adapters should be listening on port 21.
Reolink Cameras all have the same FTP login and RW settings except the target IP. Wired cameras FTP successfully through the #1 QNAP adapter; the wireless camera is on the guest VLAN and points to #2 adapter IP.
Findings:

Findings:
- Recordings from wired PoE cameras on the main network FTP normally through the QuFTP at the #1 adapter IP.
- Pointing the wireless camera FTP server setting to either #2 or #3 QNAP adapter IPs still fails with the 454 error.
- The NAS notification app shows no login failures or even attempts to login via the #2 adapter. It’s as if the packets never leave the camera or just never arrive at NAS.
