Dumb AP: Wifi with VLANs not working

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I have a OpenWRT AP with one Ethernet Port.
It has configured VLAN 10 for guest ethernet (wifi ssid "Gast") and VLAN 1 for private ethernet (wifi ssid "WLAN OlCa").
I can connect from private ethernet over Cable to the AP and the AP has also internet access (ping 1.1.1.1 is working)
For VLAN 1 and VLAN 10 there is an DHCP Server in the network (different IP ranges).

If I have no VLAN configured, the private wifi is working well (with DHCP and internet access)
But if I activate VLANs, only cable connection to the AP is working.

But over wifi (private and guest) there is no access to the DHCP Server or the internet.

So I guess, there is any misconfiguration at the AP.

What is upstream of this AP? Is it a managed switch? or a router? Have you proven that the upstream ethernet is working as expected for both VLANs?

What is the device in question?

ubus call system board

This stuff in the firewall is not necessary (it's not causing any issues, but delete it because it's not needed):

Same for this:

Hello,

thanks for answering my question.

Here is the output of

ubus call system board

{
        "kernel": "5.15.134",
        "hostname": "OpenWrt",
        "system": "Qualcomm Atheros QCA956X ver 1 rev 0",
        "model": "Ubiquiti UniFi AC Lite",
        "board_name": "ubnt,unifiac-lite",
        "rootfs_type": "squashfs",
        "release": {
                "distribution": "OpenWrt",
                "version": "23.05.0",
                "revision": "r23497-6637af95aa",
                "target": "ath79/generic",
                "description": "OpenWrt 23.05.0 r23497-6637af95aa"
        }
}

But in time between I got my problem solved by myself.
I found many topics, where the interface has to be "unmanaged", but I thought this has only to be the second interface for tagged VLAN.

Now I added an other unmanaged interface (one for VLAN 1 and one for VLAN 10)

The wifis are connedted to these unmanaged interfaces and everything is working!

Here my woking config, maybe someone can use ist:
