VLAN passthrough on TP-Link t1600g-52ps

Hi, all:
I have a Cisco Meraki router which broadcasts two wifi networks. Internal (172.20.10.x), and guest (192.168.100.x).
I have just added a new, unconfigured TP-Link T1600G-52PS switch to the network. All wired devices are working great.
I have a Cisco Meraki Access Point plugged in by PoE ethernet to the TP-Link switch.
Wireless devices connecting to the internal wifi through the access point work great.
Wireless devices connecting to the guest netowrk via the access point are unable to retrieve an IP address from the Router.
Since the access point worked fine on an unmanaged switch with a poe injector, I assume that the switch is preventing information to pass between the access point and the router.
Since I have not configured any VLANs or anything in the switch (but there are 2 VLANs in the Cisco Router), what do I need to do to the switch to allow those wireless clients to get their IP addresses and get internet access?
Thank you for your help.
You need to set up the two VLANs in your switch, too. Create the VLANs, assign the ports connected to the router and the APs as tagged members of both VLANs.
This is a typical topology for a local and a guest network. IPs and VLAN IDs are just examples, you need to use the IPs and VLAN IDs defined in the router resp. the APs (ignore the OC200 part in the diagram):
