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!
