    I was able to figure out what was going on.  The WiFi access point (WAP) is configured to use four VLANs:  100, 101, 200, & 300.

     

    The WAP is connected to Port 3 on the managed switch.  When the WAP tries to pass traffic from the WiFi clients to the router, it's trying to send packets with the VLAN IDs listed above -- but the managed switch didn't recognize those VLAN IDs.

     

    I added those VLAN IDs to the managed switch's configuration and made port 3 a member of all those VLANs.

     

    As of right now, it appears to be working fine.  I'll keep an eye on it but for now, I consider this resolved.
