Model: ER605 (TL-R605)   SG2008P  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 2.2.6

I have two ISP's, one primary and the other for backup.  When I connect to a certain wifi SSID, I want to connect to the backup connection.  I am pretty proficient on simple networking but not good on VLANs, but I am thinking I could use a VLAN for this.  

 

I use a couple of Netgear R7900 series as AP's but they are not smart enough for VLAN's.

 

I have an ER605 router and a SG2008P switch.  I see where they both can do VLAN's and since they are the same maker, I hope it might be simple.

 

My thinking is to assign a VLAN to the WAN that I want (I am using 66) on the ER605:

d69298ce3e2e46629898472fd3eea983

 

I then assign that VLAN (66) to a port on the SG2008P (port 6):

b09f4956ef6b4b1dbb902322999986ae

 

Next I attach an AP to that port (6) on the switch.  Would any traffic coming in on that AP then be assigned VLAN6 and route to the desired WLAN? 

 

Also what is tagged vs untagged.  Since my ER605 says 'TAG' should I make it tagged on the switch?

Thanks for any help or direction to a place to learn all this.

Yes, you need to set up a VLAN

It should come out of the 605 on a trunk port (the vlan is tagged), and you need to add it to the switch as well, tagged on the port connected to the 605, and untagged on any port you want to "just connect to that vlan".  However, if you are connecting an access point that is VLAN aware and allows tagging, the switch port needs to be trunk as well, the access point will do the tagging for you.

 

 

On the 605, you can use policy routing to force that vlan onto any configured WAN connection permenantly
