Can't get OpenWrt 19 working as Access Point

@slh,

Yeah, but shouldn't ignoring the XRX switch altogether and just working on the RTL be simple enough? At least the LAN ports should work, and then we will find out about the wireless.

Even with LAN1 set to DHCP client?
I see now that DSLWAN and LAN1 have the same MAC address, so I think that's beyond my comprehensions. I will refrain form talking about what I don't know, and resort to what @slh said!

It'sā€¦, difficultā€¦ Basically the xrx200 switch only has access to two 1 GBit/s ports, in order to get 4, it needs to daisy-chain the rtl8367b - and into all that mess, a second/ independent rt3883 SOC (running its own non-linux firmware with a very crappy driver) handling both WLAN cards is mixed in, which comes with its own expectations and limitations in regards to the VLAN setup. Not all VLAN setups are possible - and in order to divert from the defaults at all, you need to understand their inner workings, how the 4 independent participants VRX268 SOC, xrx200 switch, rtl8367b switch and rt3883 SOC) integrate.
