Challenges with Asus Router and VLANs (Video)

Teal colour background with white title text saying: Asus Router VLAN Challenges. It has inserted photos of an Asus router and a TP-Link network switch.

Key issues covered in my video are:

  • Problems with VLAN Trunked port and Inter-VLAN traffic rules
  • No aggregating of wired and wireless devices into the same VLAN
  • Correct settings for a TP-Link TL-SG108E switch for mixed VLAN traffic

I show some of the issues I experienced with my new Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 gaming router. It is one of only about five or six routers of Asus that support VLAN traffic. The problem is, Asus only provides basic support for 802.1Q VLANs, and for anything more you probably need to consider a MikroTik, pfSense, etc type routers if detailed VLAN support is required.

This is an excellent gaming router, but VLAN support is not something it really excels at (and it does not claim to do so either).
