What do I need for the WAX615?
What do I need to use the WAX615 with vlan? Can I use it on its own with the ISP router or do I need one that supports vlan like the edgerouter X? Or a switch?

I appreciate the help, but you don't say if I can use the edgerouter to manage the WAX615. Or I just don't understand. So can I use vlans with the WAX615 with the edgerouter or not?...to manage? The Edgerouter is an Ethernet router with Gigabit ports. Nothing the router does manage or access on your WAX615. It's just an Ethernet connection, the passive PoE is supposed not to hurt the WAX615 PoE Powered Device. Using the Ethernet connection, the WAX615 can be administered, and provide LAN access, through the router Internet access. Of course, the Edgerouter can be configured for VLANs, tagged VLANs, required for the WAX615 to provide additional SSIDs for the additional IP networks and subnet. So in short: Yes, of course you can!
I'll be using starlink so I will be getting around 200mbps, so the max speed of the router isn't a problem. I will be using a PoE injector so power isn't a problem for the AP.
So I don't really understand, will the edgerouter X work? Or what kind of switch do I need?

In theory, and according to Internet reports, it's possible to operate your own router (e.g. an Edgerouter X) with the Starlink system. Some special config settings might be required, earlier Starlink odels require a proprietary Ethernet adapter, too.
Unrelated to Netgear I'm afraid, so we can't help as most of us are just yet another Netgear customers, not working, paid, or backed by Netgear - difficult enough for non-Starlink-owners to help, even if deploying capable Netgear routers like the Netgear PR60X.
- I know the router works with starlink, any router should work, that's not what I'm asking. What I'm asking is if the edgerouter alone will work with the WAX615 or if I need something else.
Thank you in advance
