The VLANs have to be defined at the router level. Neither this switch nor the EAP610 can be used to define VLANs, only to assign certain ports to certain VLANs on the switch, or to associate an...

I don't know as I don't use it that way - I'd suggest at least assigning a static IP outside of your DHCP range and changing the default password though.
