VLAN for Guest/IoT SSIDs in access point mode

Model: Deco X1500  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.0 Build 20250725 Rel. 54254

When in access point mode, no VLAN seems to be set on Guest or IoT networks.

Documentation mentions the feature is supported only in router mode, which does use VLAN ID 591 internally, but in access point mode all packets VLAN ID is unset regardless of the SSID. The same behaviour is observed on the main and satellite Decos, and with or without the feature "guest network > advanced > allow local access".

A more sensible fallback would be to set a VLAN on the guest network and ideally also on the IoT network when the feature "allow local access" is turned off.

That would allow to separate the traffic properly on the upstream router, without it all the untrusted devices share the same subnet as the whole network.

Is there a setting I didn't find ? a workaround that doesn't involve the router mode ? Or otherwise would it be possible to submit this as a feature request ?
