happy new year my friends :) I am writing about ap_isolate param. Also if you put to 0 the clients can't communicate each other... (chromecast as an example) there are lot of post about this issue in the www, some example whit lot of detail in openwrt forum: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/clients-in-same-wlan-cant-reach-each-other/2501/74 https://forum.openwrt.org/t/bug-report-802-11s-mesh-v19-07-4/78524/3 https://bugs.openwrt.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=714 the issue is present from several year and no solution is present. reading lot of posts as workaround you can use for enable/disable ap_isolation echo 1> / sys / devices / virtual / net / br0 / lower_wlp2s0 / brport / hairpin_mode echo 0> / sys / devices / virtual / net / br0 / lower_wlp2s0 / brport / hairpin_mode But after that you are no more able to join in the wifi Do you have any idea? Thanks a lot for your time! Below my config as example for my asus ac88 pcie.
