Back in the 2000s I used to use two D-Link routers to wirelessly connect the wired devices in my lounge to my main network in another room.  In the 2010s I did the same with two Netgear routers.  In the 2020s I'm doing it with two Asus routers.  Now I want to add another point-to-point wireless bridge, ideally with VLAN support this time, so I bought two of DrayTek's shiny new AP905 access points to do it.  I should have read the manual before buying because it seems that DrayTek have removed that mode of operation from their products several years ago.

What I want to do is this... 

 

I thought WDS might do it but when I enabled it the wireless link speed dropped to about 4.7Mbps and the ping was terrible.  I don't need a very fast bridge but this is way too slow so I didn't even try VLANs to see if they worked.  Maybe the slowness was a bug or maybe I was doing something wrong.  Both AP905s have the current latest firmware (v5.1.0.1).

I can't use mesh because that disables VLANs.  I tried repeater mode and the wireless connection worked at least as fast as my Internet but it only seems possible to handle one SSID, so no VLANs (also, in repeater mode the connection between the remote AP905's internals and the router seems to be broken, even though the connection through it is OK, so it can't contact time servers and I can only get to its web interface from a computer wired to it).

Has anyone got a wireless bridge working with VLANs, preferably without using anything expensive or exotic and ideally with two DrayTek AP905 access points?
