Reads like a missing basic VLAN 1-2-3.
A different VLAN - different from the standard attached, direct connected network, must be configured accordingly.

Looking from the AP side, the AP must be connected to a port on he switch configured for the basic (probably untagged) flat IP subnet and untagged for the default VLAN, plus the VLAN 6 being available tagged on that very same port.
Similar, the router needs to be connected to a switch port, either untagged for the basic network and VLAN, and tagged for the guest VLAN 6, or tagged for the basic VLAN (1?) and the VLAN 6 forming a trunk port. Same for the port where the router is configured.
