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.)
