In the photos, S1 and S3 are configured exactly the same. _________________ Linksys EA8500 (Internet Gateway, AP/VAP) - DD-WRT r53562

Am I correct in assuming I would not need a static route, since the IPs are hard coded to the ports (R1/P4 and R2/P4)? I also have "Net Isolation" turned on, for each br1 on both routers.
What about Masquerade/NAT? I would think that should be set to off.
Interesting enough, here are the port stats for S1. Notice how the Bad packets closely matches the good ones on S1/P2. They are about the same on S3/P2. I am just wondering what data is actually being generated on these ports, since they seem completely unreachable.
I changed the S2 settings (the switch in the middle) for the first two ports (one to the garage S3/P1, the other to Main S1/P3. I have them set to non-tagged, but they are members of vlan10. _________________ Linksys EA8500 (Internet Gateway, AP/VAP) - DD-WRT r53562

You have set R1/4 and S1/P2 correctly, but vlan 10 is going nowhere as there is no other ports for vlan 10 in S1.
Okay, so I think I need to tag S1/P3 to vlan10, or do just make it a member of vlan10 (mentioned again below)?

Next step is configure vlan 1 tagged for R1/4 and S1/P2 and remove the un-tagged cable between R1 and S1.
Okay, so looks like the biggest changes were adding 4t to VLAN 1 then removing the cable from R1/P1 <-> S1/P5.
Code:
#Startup
swconfig dev eth0 vlan 1 set ports "0t 1 2 3 4t"
swconfig dev eth0 vlan 2 set ports "0t 5"
swconfig dev eth0 vlan 10 set ports "0t 4t"
swconfig dev eth0 set enable_vlan 10
swconfig dev eth0 set apply
vconfig add eth0 10
ifconfig vlan10 up
and here is now the output of R1 swconfig dev switch0 show:
I can now access the router with only the cable from R1/P4 <-> S1/P2. I think that is progress.

Extend the tagged trunk into S2 and S3
Again, back to the top question. Member or tagged? This involves S2 ports 1 and 2 and S3 ports 1 and 2. I would think the middle switch, S2, would not want anything tagged, just the ability to pass it. So I assume that means make those two ports members of vlan10. S3 on the other hand, P2 is tagged, port 1 is a member.
Assuming these are correct assumptions, I guess next I need to somewhat duplicate the swconfig commands from R1 to R2 (differing ports of course) and remove the R2/1 cable?
Thank you for all your assistance with this. I really feel stupid and appreciate your help and not giving me a "recipe", but guidance instead, so I can actually learn this stuff. _________________ Linksys EA8500 (Internet Gateway, AP/VAP) - DD-WRT r53562

Wrong. S2 need the trunk tagged, otherwise it will strip the tags away.
Got it. I think I am finally understanding the differences between tagged and trunk. The Trunk port carries all the vlans. The problem I am having now is that when I tag the vlans, I cannot get to my media server, for example, and several others. Seems to have to do with the PVID. That setting has become very confusing for me. I added a vlan on my linux box (fedora 32 on S3) and still cannot ping the router's vlan10 at 10.1.0.1. Same with R2. I think my network is too complicated to make this work. I have watched several videos, but most deal with pfSense, so maybe that is the direction I should look at. But I think these switches are doing something funky too. Not sure. Need to fire up Wireshark to find out more.
I have far to many projects going on right now. I need to regroup. _________________ Linksys EA8500 (Internet Gateway, AP/VAP) - DD-WRT r53562

I dunno, should it? I don't have an interface for eth0.10. _________________ Linksys EA8500 (Internet Gateway, AP/VAP) - DD-WRT r53562

Here's a screenshot from my second router running as AP.
I have configured the WAN port as 1, 3t, 4t, 5t in the startup configuration. The rest of the settings on the network page are blank or standard (or untouched if you like).
Clients connecting to any of the four wireless networks get a DHCP address from the main router. _________________ Linksys: Several WRTxx00AC variations | Netgear: 4x WNDR4500v2, 7x WNDR4300, R6400v1 | Asus: 2x RT-AC66U | Gl.inet: 3x GL-AR150

@mrjcd Yes, I have used your page many times. Thank you for making it. I think most of my confusion at this point is between tagging and trunking. When I set up tagged trunks on my switches, only one subnet seems to make it thru. It's driving me absolutely crazy! _________________ Linksys EA8500 (Internet Gateway, AP/VAP) - DD-WRT r53562

brctl does show the correct bridging. So the GUI is lying to me.
Code:
# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br0 8000.149182673476 no vlan1
wlan0
wlan1
br1 8000.149182673476 no wlan0.1
Both vlan10 and wl0.1 are default. The IP is set in br1. _________________ Linksys EA8500 (Internet Gateway, AP/VAP) - DD-WRT r53562
