BR200 - GS728TP - WAX214 and VLAN Routing/Switching
My problem is multiple SSIDs and Internet access. When logged into a SSID that is assigned a VLAN, these devices have no internet access! The other 2 SSIDs that are not on a VLAN connect to the Inter...

Welcome to our community! :)
It seems that you are having a problem with the tagging of ports going to your VLANs. May you be able to provide us a network topology in order for us to identify the issue?

I do not have a method to diagram the topology. It is best described as "star". Every device has an ethernet cable from the switch to the device. Hard wired devices, 2 Internet phones, 9 Cloud managed door locks, 1 PC, 2 Open Mesh OM2P access points (Cloud managed, they are tied together and have Internet access)
I will add that I have successfully got all 3 SSIDs to connect to the internet. In the BR200 I created 3 subnets and assigned an SSID VLAN to each of the subnets. This works but it limits me to only 3 SSIDs as the router will not let me add more than 4 subnets. Not desireable in my application as I cannot add the 4th SSID and keep each SSID from having access to the others. Nor will I be able to add another AP to provide more SSIDs (The network is installed in an office building with multiple businesses.)
I figured the problem was in the router because I took the AP out of the GS728TP PoE managed switch and plugged it into a dumb PoE switch GS305P and still had no Internet access on the SSIDs assigned to a VLAN.
I did set traffic rule to and from the WAN to each subnet but that did not get the SSIDs to the Internet. Selecting the router as the DHCP server for the subnet did the trick.
Long term we will get more clients in the building and each will need their own wireless SSID with Internet access. Most use wireless printers so client isolation is not an option. And we must restrict access of wireless users from the building LAN.

You can try to draw it on a piece of paper on how all the cables are connected to each port of all your devices and even the VLAN tagging on your switch in order for us to check what seems to be causing this problem.
BR200 can support up to 256 VLANs based on the datasheet. This should work just fine with 4th subnet that you are trying to create. It will be best if you can also attach a screenshot of your configuration so that we can review it.
