Thanks, yes that looks to be how to enable VLANs.  I see so I’d have to effectively remove WIFI 2 from the main router and use a separate device for WIFI 2 and then assign port switch to different VLAN ID and then also assign a separate VLAN ID.  Only catch now is getting my VM to have a second NIC on that same VLAN when physically its wired to main network….

Thanks for info! Will look at the AX repeater too thanks.
