@Voxel - I say it every time, but thank you AGAIN for keeping my aging RBR50 set up relevant years after it should be!

Not sure if this is related to the Voxel fw itself, so I'm unsure if I'm supposed to start a separate thread about this.

I run the latest Voxel for my RBK50 mesh and would really appreciate some help with setting up another router connected to one of the satellites as a Access Point.

So I purchases a Flint 2 to act as a Access Point only to be used for VR (Quest3). I follow the guidelines plug in Ethernet cable from RBS to Flint and set Flint into AP mode. But Flint never shows up in the device list on orbi. It kind of those, but shows up as two different ip adresses and two different Mac adress. If I leave it alone for some time al info about it just disappears, and come back upp as one device. So on and so forth. Flint itself is still througputting internet this entire time. But for some reason it doesnt stick as a client on the orbi network. When I det Flint to AP mode it's DHCP is auto disabled.

I've also disabled "interface state tracking" on the Flint.
I've tried Gl.iNets forum but haven't got any help.
