(The original page with the Wireless Settings section and other sections remains open.) Enable VLAN isolation for a user WiFi network and set a VLAN ID If you are familiar with virtual local area networks (VLANs) and you are using them in your network, you can assign a VLAN ID to a user WiFi network so that all traffic from the network is tagged with the VLAN ID. WiFi clients on the VLAN can communicate with each other but not with WiFi clients on different VLANs, and the other way around. If you set different VLAN IDs for two user WiFi network, the clients of these different WiFi network cannot communicate with each other. In this way, you are providing extra security for your user WiFi networks. If you enable VLAN isolation, clients can still communicate with each other over the Internet. Note: The VLAN that you assign to the user WiFi network must already be defined on your local area network (LAN). To enable VLAN isolation for a user WiFi network and set a VLAN ID: 1. Launch a web browser from a computer or tablet that is directly connected over WiFi to the AP or connected to the same network as the AP. 2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the AP. If you are directly connected to the management WiFi network, you can enter https://www.aplogin.net. A login page displays. If you do not know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the AP on page 24. For more information about the management WiFi network, see Management WiFi network on page 43. If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception for the security warning. For more information, see kb.netgear.com/000062980. 3. Enter the AP login password and click the LOGIN button. The AP login password is the one that you specified the first time you logged in to the AP. The password is case-sensitive.
