How to Use VLANs in Your Network
On an Orbi Pro WiFi 6 router, you can manually configure a VLAN by creating a VLAN
profile (basically, and VLAN ID with a VLAN name) and assigning the VLAN to one or
more network interfaces, such as WiFi networks (also referred to as WLAN or SSIDs)
and Ethernet ports. Or, you can use an Orbi Pro WiFi 6 preset VLAN for which you can
edit the settings to suit your network needs.
The following table shows the preset VLANs and their designates uses.
