WAX 202 per ssid vlan assignment?
Has anyone requested the feature to assign ssid's to a specific vlan with the WAX 202 ap? I have 3 of them running in AP mode, it would be helpful to plug the AP into a trunk interface on the switch and have each ssid on a different vlan, then rules on the firewall control access between vlans. If the feature is there, I missed it.

The Essential APs like the WAX202/WAX204/206 do not offer any VLAN capabilities.
Thanks for the confirmation. Is there a place to request features via Netgear's forums?(I'm new here) Per ssid vlan assignment is pretty standard in a "Business" class AP.

Sure there is -> Idea Exchange For Business
Keep in mind these WAX202/WAX204/WAX206/WAC104 Essentials APs are purpose designed and built on low cost consumer platforms without any VLAN capabilities to match the many simple routers provided by ISPs and other vendors as in use by many SOHO and even small businesses these days.
Netgear's Business APs come with select feature sets and different implementation depth. Next feature set level is the WAX214/WAX218, and then at the upper end of the possible business features the WAX6xx/WAC5xx. Even those represent the typical feature sets - in no way they intend to compete with the 1000 USD business class APs (typically requiring support and maintenance contracts to get current firmware updates).
