hhWe tried to configure an AX1800 with a second Wifi SID, for guests, with tagging but it seems not working.
We configured the AP in "router mode" so to have access to the advanced "VLAN/BRIDGE" tab.
In that tab enabled Vlan tagging and configured a "Map" between "Wireless2" and the VLAN 200.
The switch port where the AP is connected is configured fro vlan tagging of Vlan 200, however the devices connecting to this SID are not getting the DHCP from the DHCP server on that VLAN.
The most simple AP supporting max four SSIDs and mapping to multiple VLANs (tagged of course) in the WiFi 6 AX1800 range is the WAX214v2 on a GbE LAN port, in the WiFi 6 AX4200 range WAX220 on 2.5 GbE, all nicely PoE+ powered.
Whatever AX1800 you have in mind. Probably a "WiFi 6 AX1800 Dual Band Wireless Access Point WAX204 in Router Mode" for example?
Based on the screenshot for the VLAN Bridge Tag Group setting, this mapping a VLAN ID 200 on the router WAN/Internet port to a defined LAN port or a defined Wireless. This exists for the use case where ISP are providing e.g. IPTV VLAN and you want to connect a set-top box to a defined LAN port or a defined Wireless SSID configured.
If the AP is in router mode and a device such as an IPTV is connected to a LAN port or WiFi network, your ISP might require you to set up a bridge for a VLAN tag group for the AP’s Internet (WAN) port.
If you are subscribed to an IPTV service, the ISP might require you to use VLAN tags on the AP to distinguish between the Internet traffic and the IPTV traffic. A bridge with a VLAN tag group allows packets that are sent between the IPTV device and the AP Internet (WAN) port to circumvent the AP’s NAT service, which otherwise could drop the packets.

In no aspect, these controls are intended to configure something like a router LAN or Wireless AP SSID to a VLAN mapping.
To my knowledge, there is no MultiSSID<->VLAN mapping on this very basic access point at all.
Do you need a NAT router, or just a wireless access point with an SSID<->VLAN tag mapping?
Thanks for your reply that clarify a little the behavior of such AP ( WAX204 ).
Since we didn't use the WAN port, as this is an AP not connected to an ISP, and given the explanation provided it might work is we connect the WAN port to the internal switch with tagging enabled on the port ?
