First ever 'proper' router was a RT-AC68U, upgraded to RT-AC86U many years back now and made use of the older model in an AiMesh config.
Network is expanding over time, mainly with IOT devices and Wi-Fi versions have increased as new devices have been bought etc.
So... looking at the RT-AX86U Pro, it seems high up the asuswrt download list so well supported and a good user base. Good reviews etc
My question is more around the 'pro' version which seems to have the ability to have vLANs.
Does this mean I can run my IOT devices on one vLAN, Media (speakers, TVs etc) on another, and phones, PC, laptops etc on another?
Or is it more marketing BS rather than proper separate routable vLANs?
