Title: Mesh network is unable to support multiple VLANs
Edited by The Wi-Fi Hero at 2022-7-29 04:13

We are using the EW-3200GX Pro home routers to act as AP (under wired repeater/AP option). Gateway is needed. Both EG-2100-P V2 & EG-210G-P are supported and the VLAN is able to be tagged to the SSID without any problem. Try this at your own risk as it's not officially supported by Ruijie. Just sharing my personal experience as EW-3200GX Pro is a lot more powerful in term of Wi-Fi performance and capacity compare to other Ruijie APs.
One classic use case is the printer connection at the kitchen in a restaurant. Laying cable may not be an option due to the environment.
However, the mesh home router is not able to inherit more than 1 VLAN settings so we only use that for very specific Wi-Fi extension. Non-supported VLAN SSID does appear in the air but client devices are unable to get any IP addresses via DHCP, manual IP won't work as well.
Ruijie AP wasn't able to mesh but I heard the newer firmware is able to support mesh. I do not have a chance to play with them yet.

Did you manage to send vlans over wifi? I am thinking of getting reyee APs but like you I need to pass vlans over wireless.

I have successfully done this with mikrotik gear, I am curious if reyee equipment can do so.

Dear sir

I test on my side that Reyee mesh APs can also support port vlan to create multiple vlans for different networks. You can configure on this page:
