M4300-52G-POE+ VLAN's within the stack
I have a netgear smart switch with working VLANs feeding WAP's.I have connected this (via fibre) to M4300-52G-POE+ stack of 3 switches and setup the VLANs in the stack on the first 2 ports of each st...

Didn't really find Netgear support very helpful, however I did spot the error during my explaination of the problem to them.
The PVID of the port appears to important. Not sure if this is specific to Sonicwall devices. I had set the PVID to VLAN 40 on ports 1,2 on stack member 1, but not on stack members 2 and 3.
Thanks to all involved in trying to resolve this issue.

Have you tried to reboot / re-stack the switches? Please also make sure that WAPs are properly tagged in their respective VLANs.

Hmmm
I thank you for trying to help, but If I can get the WAP devices working on the first switch in the stack this confirms the WAPs are configured properly.
I did however neglect to mention that I have rebooted these devices about 20 times, in various orders so the stack master changes across the stack but without any success in resolving this issue or change (other than the DHCP address assigned to the stack gets lost and I can no longer access the web interface). Still the primary stack member (1) with the GBIC ethernet feed has working Vlans, but the other stack members (2,3) do not work.
The probably next question would be, can you confirm the settings on the stack members are the same as stack member 1 (the VLan working member) and yes they are.

It might be better if we can troubleshoot this over the phone or chat. I believe that your device is still under support warranty. I suggest you to open a chat / case online on NETGEAR support and please let them know what is going on with your switch so that we can fix this issue immediately.
Regards,
