Help with per port vlan settings

I have a VERY simple network:
Internet - MX67 - MR36H
A few vlans on the MX and SSID's on the MR mapped to them (vlan tagging)
Ports on the MR36H mapped to a specific SSID (port profiles)
 
When I assign the MX port that the MR connects to to Native VLAN 1 (per port vlan settings) - things do not work.  Trying to understand why? (I'd assume this is what I want - so untagged traffic coming in from any wired devices connected through the MR36H are put on VLAN 1?)
 
Sorry if this is an obvious question - but I'm missing something here.
 
Thanks

By default, if you do not specify the VLAN in each SSID, the native VLAN will be used, that is, the untagged VLAN.

I'm not sure that I understand your answer.

I want the to set the Native VLAN on the port to be VLAN 1 - so untagged traffic will use VLAN 1 (e.g., wired interfaces that connect through that port).  But it does not work - so I'm trying to understand why...

 

Thanks

Make sure you have configured the trunk port between connections correctly.

It would help a lot if you shared a screenshot of the settings.

As requested.
I had wanted to make the Native VLAN for port 2 (the port the MR is connected to) = VLAN 1 - but when I do that - things cease working.

Can you show a screenshot of the configuration?

Oops - I thought I had.  Attached now:Screenshot 1.png

Have you checked that you are not tagging a specific VLAN for the AP?

When you say things do not work - do you means clients connected to an SSID on the MR36H can no longer pass traffic, or something else?

Previously associated clients stop passing traffic.  And the AP "disappears" / stops advertising the ssids.

After changing the port setting on the MX - try giving the MR36H a power cycle.

 

I suspect this might be as simple as the client having an IP address from the one VLAN.

OK - I'll try that - thanks
