You've made some steps toward resolving the issue, but there are a few adjustments to consider. The VLAN ID of 101 is typically used for guest networks, not for connecting directly to external services like Google or 8.8.8.8. Try setting it to a different value if needed. The TP-Link ER605 works well once configured correctly, so ensure the Wi-Fi settings match your network type. For pinging domains, confirm the router is set to DHCP and that the correct IP is assigned. If you're still having trouble with domain resolution, check your DNS settings or consider enabling DNS troubleshooting in the router. Let me know if you need further guidance!

It implies DNS servers aren't configured by the routers' DHCP on the device you're testing. The router might also have its own DNS forwarder and designate itself as the gateway, which won't function if no DNS servers are set. It's good they finally clarify this. Likely they don't specify this on the endpoint because multiple services can share the same fiber, and VLANs help identify the correct one.
