Ports 2 & 3 are what would be considered VLAN trunk ports in that they are passing data for both VLANs to the VLAN aware access points.
If the first VLAN aware access point is supporting both SSIDs (Office & Guest) and separating the traffic correctly, then the second VLAN aware access point will also do so.
Port 7 is a guest VLAN port ONLY and whatever is connected there will only receive data for the guest VLAN.
Computers connected to the office SSID should have their traffic passed to the office VLAN which includes the wired LAN network and through it to the router and the WAN; computers connected to the guest SSID should have their traffic passed to the guest VLAN, (which is separated from the wired LAN) and through the router to the WAN.
Office users should have access to the WAN and the office network, guest users should have access only to the WAN.
