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...
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.
I have a Mikrotik routerboard with Port 2 going to Port 1 on a Zyxel switch (its a GS1900-24). Port 7 on that switch goes to Port 5 on a Netgear switch (it's a Netgear GS308EPP). I use this switch because it's POE (which neither the switch or router are).
The APs (2 WAX214s) are plugged into Ports 3 and 4 of the Netgear switch. Both switches (for testing purposes) have all ports listed as Trunk (tagged) ports for VLAN 20. The SSID LaPortaPile-Test is mapped to VLAN 20 on the AP.
I've attached screenshots of the relevant screens from the AP, and have the config from the router and additional screenshots from the switches if it becomes helpful.
