Wifi configuration - Bridge to AP LAN

I'm trialling an XG105W, and a little baffled by some of the limitations. I'm a total newbie to the ecosystem and was hoping for a little handholding.

Port 1 is configured with 10.10.10.1/24 LAN - DHCP handled by Windows 2008 R2. We also have voice VLAN 10, with DHCP handled by the XG.

The problem started when I attempted to get wifi working - clients were unable to obtain an IP address. So I selected the Bridge to AP LAN setting - big mistake! Goodbye to VLAN 10, hello to a new bridge. I've deleted the bridge and restored the VLAN and its DHCP server, but I need to get wifi working - what is the correct way to do this? There seem to be several opinions.

OK thanks - hopefully I can get this working with help from some others. I have other ports that could assign addresses to, but I'm not sure how/why this would help.

Okay, got it to work. AP is connected on the VLAN port of the switch (U) but configured to bridge to LAN. Receives an IP from the LAN address range.

You should be able to go from there.

I'm not sure what you mean by "AP is connected to the VLAN port of the switch". The AP is integrated in the XG. When I edit the AP, I have an option to Bridge to Ethernet, and I can only select a physical port as the "Port to Bridge", not a VLAN. If I select Port 1 (the only one configured, untagged for data traffic, VLAN 10 for voice traffic) then the AP and Port1 are bridged and the VLAN is removed. No good.

I don't have any other port option. The only way I could get Port 3 or 4 to appear would be to set this to the same subnet as Port 1, then bridge to that. Wouldn't that create a loop condition if I also plug that physically into the network switch? If I don't plug it into the network switch, the port wouldn't be active, correct?

Hi Peter,

sorry I was not aware it is the inbuilt AP.

Apologies for the confusion - it was in the first few words: "I'm trialling an XG105W".

Hi Peter,

my apologies, I have had a problem with my eyes where I could not read everything correctly. Some very bad irritation which has been fixed thankfully.

I think you will need to ask your reseller/partner or maybe even log a support case. From past posts the the inbuilt WIFI is difficult to configure.
