Will we be able to set a lan ID on the AP ports for devices that are wired to it?

  No.  AP7 Ethernet Ports are "trunk" or "tagged" ports.

  I have an outdoor camera connected via Ethernet to a mesh AP to be able to wirelessly connect to my home network. Main issue is I can't assign that port or device a specific VLAN (40 for my camera network). With the AP7s, I was really hoping I would be able to assign this Ethernet only camera to a VLAN instead of a static route to my main LAN where its video data is sent to my NAS. I don't like my camera being accessible for the entire LAN network.

  I have a similar situation as @harperfalcon. I would like to be able to tag traffic that's wired into the AP to be on a specific vlan.

  Are you all talking about the ethernet port? or the WifI side? WiFi, you can use SSID->VLAN mapping. And on the ethernet side, are you using the AP7 as a wifi bridge/extending your Ethernet? if it is, you can't setup the end device to use a VLAN tag? if you can't, another quick solution (until we make the ethernet port in to a untagged port) another small managed switch will work

  @Firewalla my use is on the ethernet side. I can't setup my device to use a tag. I could use a managed switch but I try to not add extra devices if I do not have to.

  I recently trialed another AP and I was able to tag the wired traffic to a specific VLAN.

  @Firewalla Are you saying it might be possible (with the currently released AP7) that a future software release could allow one or both Ethernet ports to essentially set a specific VLAN tag for devices unable to manually be set with a VLAN? Would be great to help extend an Ethernet network from a meshed AP.
