If your network hardware handles VLAN tags.

I have numerous switches (unmanaged) and WiFi access points, none of the 
ones I tested were compatible with VLAN tags (i.e. The network device 
stripped the VLAN tag off packets rather than dumbly passed the packet 
through with VLAN tag intact).

VLANs also aren't ideal as you may wish to implement policy routing on a 
protocol (e.g. VoIP) or WAN destination, not just upon a LAN host.
