As it happens, my home Router (Netgear), the Belkin Router I'm using to
simulate the Wireless AP (CPE Antenna) at the WMT and the Antenna all appear
to support VLANs. However, I've only ever used VLAN on a Managed Network
Router at a Customer's site, and even then one of the other contractors set it
up while I watched. I have no idea about the security question.
