1. The wireless STAs join to the network with different VLAN IDs cannot communicate with each
other, for example, STA1 and STA2.
2. The wireless STAs join to the network with the same VLAN ID can communicate with each
other, for example, STA1 and STA3.
3. All wireless STAs can log on to the Web management page of TL-WA901ND and manage the
access point, for example, STA1, STA2, STA3 and STA4.
4. All the packets received in the wired network from the wireless STA will be added a
corresponding VLAN Tag of the wireless STA, unless the VLAN ID of the wireless network is
set to 1.

connect it to the LAN port of TL-WA901ND.
 Configure the VLAN ID of the PC that can log on to the Web management page of
TL-WA901ND via the LAN port equal to the PVID of port 5.
3. Verify the communication status after the above configuration is completed.
 If VLAN ID of the PC connected to the switch is different from the VLAN ID of the wireless
STA, the two cannot communicate with each other, for example, PC1 and STA2.
 If the PC connected to the switch and the wireless STA have the same VLAN ID, the two can
communicate with each other, for example PC2 and STA2.
