TP-link does not discover switch

I have fiber to the home. The ISP Ethernet carries IPTV on VLAN ID 4 and Internet.
I configured the Switch as follows:
Port 1 : VLAN ID 2 (untagged) Connected to : Internet Service Provider
VLAN ID 4 (Tagged)
Port 2: VLAN ID 2 (untagged) Connected to Router WAN Side
Port 3 till 6
VLAN ID 4 (untagged) Connected to IPTV Setup Boxes.
Port 7-16
VLAN ID 1 (untagged)
Port 9-14 and 16
VLAN ID 100 (untagged)
Port 15 VLAN ID 100 Connected to Router LAN side
When port 1 is not connected to the ISP the I can manage the switch with the "Easy Smart Configuration Utility" but as soon as I connect port 1 to the ISP then I can not manage the switch and the utility does not see the switch as well.
By setting the ISP WAN side to VLAN ID = 2, I assumed that it would not involve VLAN ID =1.
Every thing works fine, The setup boxes for IPTV working fine and the internet works fine as well, only I can not login to the switch and monitor the switch and or do some changes.
What I'm doing wrong? Or should I use another smart switch to extract VLAN ID = 4 from the ISP?
Hi @Fae ,
I do have fiber to the home, this Ethernet does also carries VLAN ID 4 for IPTV and I want to split VLAN ID 4 from the WAN side and only send the internet to the WAN side of the router.
I want to use this switch also for my LAN traffic that's why the router is also connected to the switch. That's also why that WAN and LAN are both connected to the switch.
The PC is connected to port 11 (directly connected).
Below a drawing how the setup is done.
