I have 2 Internet connected networks, and wants to connect them by VLAN.
Since I want laptops in Network 1 prints on the printers in Network 2.

Network 1:
Netgear RAXE500, WAN connect to another Internet line
IP: 192.168.2.1
Devices in this network are printers, Android TVs, etc

Network 2
AC88U, WAN connect to Internet line
IP: 192.168.1.1, merline firmware
Devices in this network are laptops, mobile phones, etc

Please help.... I see there is no VLAN open in my Merlin AC88U....
 
AFAIK, there is no VLAN support on the AC88U. In order to share/access resources between the two routers, you would need to route between them. That would require either a third router that was properly configured and patched via its LAN port to one router, and its WAN port to the other router, or else configure a site-to-site connection between them over the internet using OpenVPN. IOW, treat it like any other site-to-site situation. Granted, it's NOT as efficient as using a local, third router, but it may be more practical in some cases.
