    Hi @Joshua, Have you set your PVID correctly? Have a look at the TP-Link documentation.

    The port connecting to Firewalla Gold must be tagged or "trunk" port. Make sure you set to that. This is the most common mistake we see

    Hi,

    Yes, I made the VLAN a trunk (tagged port) on the Firewalla port.

    I made the end device an access port (untagged) on the same VLAN as the trunk port I tagged.

    The end device was unable to get an IP address. I also tried giving it a static IP and it still couldn't communicate on the network.

    I created another VLAN for my docker server which is trunk as the docker tags the VLAN for the server, and it was able to get an IP address fine.

    For some reason the untagged network was not able communicate on the newly created VLAN.

    probably best post your configuration on the switch and see if anyone here knows how to configure it. (And another common mistake we see is using the wrong VLAN ID on the firewalla and the switch. check that too)
