Setting up VLAN's for wireless AP's with two SSID's

avail
Level 1
Level 1

I am trying to setup a RV180 and 3 wireless access points. I want the AP's to have 2 ssids that are isolated from each other. IE guest network and main network. I have setup VLAN's and my AP's support 802.1q and have ssid's with matching VID's. I was able to get this to work basically, but things seem to have gotten confusing when I plug the AP's into a POE switch instead of directly into the rv180. At this point I'm not sure exactly waht to ask. Maybe start by providing basic info on how I'm supposed to do this. I was under the impression that since both devices support 802.1q I could configure the VLANs on the router, and tell the AP's to apply a VID to the SSID and thing would work. This isn't the case unfortunately. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Aaron, it depends what this switch is. If it is an unmanage switch, it cannot process vlan tags therefore the switch will only be a member of the native vlan that is connects to from the router.

If it is a manage switch you will need to configure it the same as the router, a native vlan untag, additional vlan tag for the port connecting to the AP and to the router.
