AX1800 APs 802.1q compatible?
Are the AX1800 access points 802.1q compatible? I am looking into buying 3 of these and setting them up under 1 SSID (maybe 2, for a guest network), and I was told that to do this the access points need to have 802.1q support.

The Essential WAX214 (AX1800) or WAX218 (AX3600) and all Insight-/Cloud-manageable WAX6xx like the WAX610 (AX1800) and the bigger/faster models allow to configure the VLAN ID along with each SSID. Keep in mind that the faster WAX come with faster Ethernet ports to cove the higher bandwidth. For a plain GbE network AX1800 can be sufficient, indeed.
