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 does, but shows up as two different ip adresses and two different Mac adress. If I leave it alone for some time all 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 set 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.

If the Flint 2 in AP Mode is working as expected and you can reach the UI by IP to configure it - what you have is just a cosmetic issue in Netgear UI not displaying it properly as client on the network. Not critical and not uncommon issue. There is nothing to fix in this case.
