I made the change as suggested to one of the 305's and soft rebooted it. When it came back, the management interface was no longer on the ip address range for LAN 1. I pulled the power, put it back, same thing. I ended up finding it on the address range for LAN 11. How does that happen? I really didn't know what to do, so I soft rebooted it again, and now it's back where it should be!?
Here's the only change I made, making LAN 1 untagged on port 1 that leads back to the router:
Prior to, port 1 here was T.
And here's what the other vlans look like on this guy:
Port 2 has an AP plugged into it that runs SSIDs for 1, 11, 12 but not 31.

And the other end of the trunk on the router side, is als an [U]ntagged port for VLAN 1?

Thanks for continuing to reply and try to help. So this guy is wired straight into the Peplink port 4. That guy is configured like this:
Here's the drop down choices:
Port type is only Access or Trunk.
And Peplinks docs say in order to pass multiple vlans, it needs to be trunk. If I set it to trunk, but only chose the UTLAN (Peplink's version of Untagged), would it still pass the traffic of the other 4 vlans? What do think I should do here?
