Router + 2 wired ap + add a wireless AP, Best solution?

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi!

I have a Openwrt router with 2 wired ap. It works really well, now i have a ap that i will connect wirelessly.

I tried 2 things that not work so well..

802.11s wifi on one wired ap and on the wireless ap. It seems like the whole network hang.

WDS wifi on one ap then join that wifi on wireless ap and then make same ssid that i have on the network. I can connect to that but i cant reach the ap ip adress wireless only when its connected with lan cable to network.

Any tips?

Are all devices OpenWrt?

Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button (red circle; this works best in the 'Markdown' composer view in the blue oval):

Remember to redact passwords, VPN keys, MAC addresses and any public IP addresses you may have:

ubus call system board
cat /etc/config/network
cat /etc/config/wireless
cat /etc/config/dhcp
cat /etc/config/firewall

Yes, all are OpenWrt.
