Title: Post 26.7.4 Wireless Issue
Post by: TrustedComputer on September 18, 2026, 05:25:19 AM
I didn't see the call-to-testing thread regarding the MVC/API migration for wireless until after upgrading to 26.7.4. I do use WiFi occasionally in my network as an access point (it's not on all the time). In the past, to enable it, it was necessary to (1) enable the WLAN interface, (2) toggle the mode from BSS to access point mode. This got it up and running and when done, I would (1) switch it back to BSS mode and then (2) disable the WLAN interface. The toggling between AP mode and BSS mode was necessary for clients to be able to connect.

Now, after 26.7.4 the old trick doesn't work anymore, nor does simply enabling the interface. In my troubleshooting, it seems to be necessary to enable the interface with the AP setting and then reboot the whole firewall. I'm hoping there's a way to fix this? It's not urgent as I don't use it very often, but it would be nice to have working right.
