VLAN support is terrible

I replaced some wireless access points that were using DD-WRT/Tomato firmware to provide wired, secure, and public wireless for a small business. After two old Linksys E3000 devices went down for a short time, we thought it might be easier to use an SNMP enabled device (for plotting with Cacti) and native VLAN capabilities that could support the five VLANs needed: a non-routable VLAN for device management; a VLAN for the office network; one VLAN for CCTV cameras; a VLAN for private Wi-Fi; and the last for public wifi. ACLs on a Layer 3 switch keep traffic where it should be. I thought it looked ok. SNMP - check VLAN support - check if this thing actually supports more than 2 VLANs. What a complete and utter waste of my time.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Poor
