Eh, most good quality routers from reputable companies can handle separate VLANs just fine. My old Asus RT-N66U had that capability right out of the box.
But, as already stated, most people don't even change the default password on their router, much less know what a VLAN even is.
I haven't seen "advanced" settings like this on consumer tplink and asus routers, only on business grade tplinks, when considering these brands. but I also wouldn't consider those that I often see to be good quality, so there's that.
Yeah, hence the qualifications haha
