Are you using more than 16 distinct VLANs on these devices?  That's the =
limitation in "16 VLAN groups" mode.  You can still use any VID you'd =
like.

If you do need to have access to more than 16 distinct VLANs, then the =
full VLAN table mode would be necessary.

(I have five VLANs at home: cable modem, DSL, internal 9k MTU LAN, =
internal standard LAN plus wireless, and guest network. Even adding a =
few more for, say, the blueray player or VOD settop box, I can't see =
myself using more than 16.)
