If you do not require specific VLAN configurations, we recommend that you keep the
router’s default VLAN configuration.
If your network environment does require you to use custom-configured VLANs, you
can either change the VLANs on the router to match the VLANs that are already defined
in your network, or define the router’s preset VLANs on your other network components
(for example, switches and access points). For more information, see VLAN profiles on
page 74 and VLAN membership for a LAN, WiFi network, or port on page 80.
How the router organizes LANs, VLANs, and
WLANs
You do not need to use the VLANs in order to use the router and any satellites. However,
if your network environment is not complex or does not require you to separate multiple
types of traffic, you could just connect your wired devices to LAN 1 and your WiFi devices
to the Wireless 1 network.
The router comes with four preset LANs, VLANs, and WLANs, as shown in the following
table. A fifth LAN is disabled, but you can configure and enable it if your network
environment requires an additional LAN.
With the preset modes, your administrative traffic, employee traffic, Internet of Things
(IoT) traffic, and guest traffic can be separated entirely without the need to set up any
other VLANs on the router.
