+**NOTE:**  There are many different network types that can be created:
+Any of these networks can be allocated to a VLAN.
+  * **Corporate** is a general purpose network and by default is assigned to LAN.
+    * The UniFi controller will provision not only the VLAN itself but also a matching IP subnet for this VLAN.
+    * IP subnets exist at Layer 3, whereas UniFi switches are purely Layer 2.
+    * Therefore, if you have no USG, there's no point in creating a "Corporate" VLAN.
+  * **Guest** will apply the Guest Control setting if you enable the Guest Portal.
+  * **VLAN Only** will remove any subnet options and can be used to define VLANs for pure VLAN tagging purposes by Unifi switches.
+    * This is the best choice to use for a VLAN, if not using a USG.
+  * **VPN Client** is USG specific.
+  * **Site-to-Site VPN** is USG specific.
+  * **Remote user VPN** is USG specific.
