D-Link DAP 2160: vlans and wifi ... (newbie)

[Borromini]

OK ... that doesn't explain why the device loses its config, right?

Are you referring to settings not getting saved (if then there's probably no /overlay), or to it becoming inaccessible?

@sgw

I assume my problems come from installing a snapshot ?

Every device starts its life in snapshot. That's no indicator support is (or isn't) mature.

For the VLAN issues, see this topic e.g.:

IPQ40xx Switch Config "Strangeness" (swconfig)

Impacting EA8300 and apparently EA6350v3, the IPQ40xx switch in these devices seems to have a mind of its own about VLANs and configuration. From what I've read, this is a "non-standard" switch that may require additional development work to have functional VLANs. It seems as though the two Ethernet phys are internally "wired" to VLANs off switch port 0. These devices appear to be dual-NIC devices, which may be almost certainly are a different wrinkle than dealt with in other threads / patches…

I haven't tried any VLAN setups on ipq40xx devices anymore, but I bumped into that issue as well back when I deployed my first ipq40xx device.
