Setup:

AX86U Router – AX88, AX86, AX58 as wired backhaul AIMesh nodes. All running 386.2_6.

Netgear MS510TX managed switch https://www.netgear.com/business/wired/switches/smart/ms510tx/

Intranet IPs - 192.168.11.0 – Range chosen by me

Guest Network 1 2.4GHz IPs – 192.168.101.0 - Set by Asus router

Guest Network 1 5GHz IPs – 192.168.102.0 - Set by Asus router

Guest Network Access Intranet – Off for both Guest networks

Sync to Mesh Node – On for both Guest networks



I want to use the MS510TX as the switch between the router and nodes. When I do, the Guest Wi-Fi clients cannot access the internet. Wired intranet and regular Wi-Fi work correctly.

If I swap the managed switch for a regular gigabit switch, everything is fine.

I am definitely not a managed switch expert, I bought the MS510TX because it can do multi-gigabit connections and LACP for my NAS. Is there a configuration I need to do on the switch to allow the Guest subnets through?
 
I believe someone mentioned that Asus are now using a tagged VLAN to communicate with the guest networks on the nodes.
 
Yup, managed switches and AiMesh do not work. Have been looking for a work around for some time.
