Ensure both APs are in LoS (Line of Sight) since you are trying on 5 GHz radio. If yes and still if you see an issue we may have to do remote debugging. Let us know.

Hi Danielhainich,

Welcome to the community! :)

There is really no option to tag 2 or more VLANs to one SSID. This is not a limitation, thus, this is by design. I suggest you to create another SSID then tag it to another VLAN. The ratio would be ► 1 VLAN : 1 SSID.

Hi,

and what about the Bridge-Mode? A Bridge should do that, by design. But Documentation for BridgeMode with AP360 is very bad.

Is it possible to build an transparent Wireless Ethernet Bridge with AP360 as Root-Bridge?

The ProSAFE Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP360 Reference Manual does clearly document on how to configure Configure Wireless Bridging on p.89 ff. including a Point-to-Point Wireless Network for the point-to-point bridge mode conneciton of two generic LAN segments.

No practical experience if the for 802.1q VLAN TPID Bytes are correctly bridged between the segments - unlikley the AP does interfere with these additonal bytes. Only testing will tell.

Good advise is to use the same or very similar similar products for participating in WDS bridges. Interoperability issues are predictable otherwise.

  Hi,
  
  thanks for reply. Do i have to configure an SSID for Bridge-Mode? The MAC-Address from Bridge-Mode is the same MAC as SSID-Profile1.

    Daniel,
    
    The bridge mode does not depend on an SSID configuration. Very common that the bridge MAC is the same as the first ESSID MAC.
    
    All information required to configure a Point-to-point bridge is listed in the Table 26 on p.92 ff. - the MAC address is always the other end bridge MAC - which must be configured to a bridge mode of course, too.
