AP is fully working now. One switch works... yeah, this part is done.

Thank you @nero355 & viragomann for all the hints/help! That was really helpful =)

On Sunday will be the swap with the openwrt main router and then I've to check the other switches, proxmox and whatnot.

Quote from: gpb on Today at 03:30:33 PMI didn't read all the above, but one note about that switch.

Do not use DHCP for the IP address assignment of the switch itself, just put in a static address.  Reason...sometimes the switch will get an IP address from one of the other VLANs.  I spent some time on this and it appears it sends a DHCP request on all VLANs and which ever answers first wins.

So it may seem to work, but sometimes when it renews its address it might change.  Just an FYI.  I have a few of these and they are set and forget, otherwise.
I have read about some weird issues with the TP-Link 105/108 E and PE models in the past, but a lot of those issues were fixed via either new Revisions or simply Firmware Updates so it would be nice to know which combination you have at the moment for future reference :)

While I've had 2 of these for many years, I added another a couple months ago.  My f/w is current - TL-SG108E 6.0/1.0.0 Build 20230218 Rel.50633.
