Guest wlan to VLAN in AP mode in Deco M9+

How the guest wlan isolation has been implemented in AP mode in deco M9 latest firmware for v1 hardware?
Does it have VLAN id and what is it? Why it cannot be set from user interface?

I'm very interested in the Deco X60 supporting VLAN tagging on the guest network as well. Please TP-Link implement this!

@tplink
we need have this tagging. How to securely manage IoT devices. I have 60+ devices in the home network. 5 Decos. Vote +1

@greg234 I am giving up.
I have come to the conclusion that TP-link is not a consumer-friendly company and they actually don't give a SH*T about their existing customers.
As long as you buy the product everything is OK, but when you are in... they forget about you en move to the next.
I have 7 deco's and it was a significant investment. Every other comparable product has this feature. It is unacceptable that, even after several years, this still isn't implemented.
Never again TP-Link and you can be sure i will NOT recommend this brand anymore.

As a solution to this but still used TP-link, as were better value. I have now upgraded to my old EAP255 and a new EAP610 with a Controller. TBH works well signal wise, even with the older device and does VLAN (think there's a limit of 4 but I only have 2 so fine for me).
I had 3 Deco's and the signal with these 2 does not seem massively different, but I am thinking of a further EAP610, then using the old unit in an outbuilding for additional garden coverage

I just stumbled across this whole thread because of an interesting issue that takes this further. How long they've been ignoring people on this issue is crazy.
To make matters worse, regardless of whether traffic goes through hardwire or WiFi backhaul (I can understand WiFi backhaul somewhat), if a packet has a vlan tag on it, it will get killed the second it hits a deco. That's absolutely crazy to me because even a 20 doll hair switch can still act as a trunk and pass things along. In fact I did that as a test with the cheapest switch I had laying around, a netgear gs105.
These don't even play well in networks with vlans at all and essentially make themselves almost less than worthless. About the only thing I could use them for is a dedicated iot WiFi mesh. But who wants 3 of these only for that?
I get they're one of the cheapest options out there, but having seen this thread, tplink is never getting any sort of recommendation from me again.
