Network Vlan?
I bought a SonicWall TZ210 and 5 SonicPoints and I paid to have it preconfigured. The SonicPoint is configured with a Guest Vlan and Secure Vlan via the x5 port and works fine if I connect a SonicPoint directly to the port (with a POe injector). Problem is when I connect my Netgear prosafe (or any switch for that matter) between the x5 port and the SonicPoints, they light up (with POe power) and the Wlans are visible to devices but "no connectivity" i.e. no internet. The Wlan adapter shows 169.254.x.x so no DHCP connection. SonicWall says it is a "tag" problem and Netgear basic support says it should work as is.
Wlan default gateway 172.16.1.1
Guest 172.16.10.x
Secure172.16.20.x
Thanks,

SonicPoints wordk differently from other WAPS when used with a SoniCWALL. Other WAP's don't synchronize with the firewall like the SonicPoints do. have you tried setting up a static ip on the NETGEAR?

Yes, I set the switch to 172.16.1.2 and I tried a Vlan for x5 and another Vlan for SonicPoints. No joy, but I wasn't clear on what settings I should use: tag, untag, etc.
Can you post your x5 interface configuration?
These guys have connected SonicPoints through switches and through other zones:

On the switch, are both switchports configured as trunks with the same native (untagged) vlan? Can you post the switch configuration?
Oh DUH. I misread, I thought the netgear was another WAP. Sorry all I misread that. jgibbar sounds like he's on the right track. I'm not sure which model NETGEAR you have,but if you can configure VLANs, create a VLAN 10, give it an IP on that VLAN, then do the saem for VLAN 20. Assign a few port to each VLAN and DOCUMENT what is where. Try exporting your config to have as a backup. Tag traffic for each VLAN. since the firewall is doing the routing, and is the main interface for both VLAN's you shouldn't have to tag anything.

Thanks iwaxx,
Your document explained it https://www.fuzeqna.com/sonicwallkb/consumer/kbdetail.asp?kbid=5133
I created an x5 Vlan and tagged port 1 connected to the SonicWall
I created an V10 Vlan and tagged ports 1-6 connected to the SonicPoints
I created an V20 Vlan and tagged ports 1-6 connected to the SonicPoints
Default Vlan all ports untagged.
I was able to use the other 18 ports as normal on my network. Something the SonicGuard people said couldn't be done.
