Forward VLAN from Unifi Switch through Netgear to Unifi USG

Hi Community!
I have the following simple network setup:
[Unifi USG] -- Port1 -------- Port24 --> [Netgear JGS524PE] -- Port23 ---- Port8 ---> [Unifi 8-Port Switch] -----> [Unifi WAP]
- The Unifi USG is the Gateway and connected via Port1 to the Netgear Switch Port 24
- The Netgear Switch is connected via Port 23 to a Unifi 8 Port Switch
- The Unifi 8 Port Switch is connected to a Unifi WAP
This setup works fine, as long as the WAP just has one SSID and there aren't any VLANs.
With Unifi I can configure the WAP to broadcast two SSIDs:
- Office (Default VLAN1)
- Guest (VLAN8)
The Netgear switch should just forward the VLAN8 packages from the Unifi Switch to the Unifi USG, i.e., forward VLAN8 between Port24 and Port 23.
If I just use the factory settings of the Netgear Switch, it doesn't forward the VLAN8 traffic.
Note, I'm not an expert with VLANs!
So what I tried to do on the Netgear side (see also attached Screenshots):
- Enable Advanced 802.1Q VLAN Configuration
- Add VLAN 8
- Set VLAN1 Membership Port1-Port22=U, Port23=T, Port24=T
- Set VLAN8 Membership Port1-Port22=Not selected, Port23=T, Port24=T
- PVID settings are by default all set to 1
- Check Membership of VLAN8
As soon as I apply these settings, the devices on the Ports 1 to 22 can not access the USG on Port24. Also the VLAN8 is not forwarded. Only after I set VLAN1 on Port24 to U, at least the Office Lan works again.
Am I missing something in this setup?
Thanks for your help!

AFAIK Unifi does run the primary VLAN (VLAN #1 here) untagged, so change to
- ...
- ...
- Set VLAN1 Membership Port1-Port22=U, Port23=U, Port24=U
- ...
- ... (the PVID 1 for all ports is OK in this case).

Re: Forward VLAN from Unifi Switch through Netgear to Unifi USG
Thanks! That was the reason. Now it's working with the mentioned settings.
