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...

The frames go through two switches to a Mikrotik routerboard (which all seem to be set up correctly); is there any way to test that the frames are at least being tagged on the AP before they're sent through to the router (so that I can verify that the problem isn't with the AP)?
And the two switches in the data path are configured for handling the VLAN in question as tagged along the complete data path - from the router to the WAX214?
A good starting point for testing might be defining an access port for that specific VLAN on the switch (and only for this VLAN), and connect a computer there, the PC should get an IP address for that specific subnet.
I've tried that; a computer plugged straight into and Access port for that VLAN *does* get an IP in the expected range. I would normally plug the AP into that port and see what happens, but the router is not POE, so that's not really an option.
I'm guessing that there's not any way to view the data being sent from the AP into the network so I can diagnose?

So make this former access port a tagged trunk port, and connect the WAX214 with the SSID configured for that VLAN in question.
Are we facing a WAX214 or WAX214v2 here? Reason asking: On the WAX214v2 I see some oddities (at least, nicely saying):
- I don't have the v2, but I should be able to borrow a POE injector to try and plug directly into an access port straight on the router.

Tell us more about the config of your router, and he switches along of the data path.
