WAX214 VLAN set up Correctly?
I'm trying to set VLANs on my network based on SSID and can't seem to find out where things are going wrong. I have an SSID set on my WAX214 with VLAN Isolation activated and the VLAN ID set to 20. W...
VLANs on NETGEAR consumer devices are very limited and there for only one purpose; ISP configuration needs. They are not full blown VLANs you will come across the upper level of devices.
So I shouldn't expect that it will tag VLAN 20 and pass that information on? The VLANs are defined on the switches and router; all I'm relying on the AP to do is tagging based on SSID (which appears to be an option in the settings).
I don't know if this matters, but the Access Points are also pretty prominently stamped "Business" on the front, so it seems they should have this capability.

No problems using the WAX214 over a tagged network connection over a mixed Netgear MS108EUP and ZyXEL GS1900-24E/-48 infrastructure, all tagged to the router, VLAN ID is 250 in my environment, but that's not relevant- Perfectly fine for a non-exclusively used Internet connection and infrastructure, almost a one GbE link on WiFi (despite heavily used 5 GHz band for WiFi 7 testing, so plenty interference on-air:

Yes, it does - and in general almost everything trouble-free. The special case I've showed before is reported to Netgear for some weeks.

Yes, I know sometimes there are consumers coming to this are, too. And I bought some WAX214/WAX214v2/WAX218/WAX220 with my own hard earned money - these are not Beta samples btw, too.
