Re: hAP ax3 ruining USB dongles

You could try to use a USB-tester to check if the ax3 is at least supplying a normal usb voltage (5V). If for whatever reason the ax3 delivers a higher voltage then that could probably be a reason for your USB dongles getting ruined. Although it seems unlikely, it's not impossible...

@patterno

You are at least missing a routing rule, you've created a routing table but those are empty atm and you have to add each client ethX to the correct table using a routing rule (with action=lookup-only-in-table).

And the static routes you added should be tweaked a bit more too

I think you should be able to add two routing tables, add each interface to their own routing table (using a routing rule) and then use a mangle rule to forward incoming traffic to either routing table using a routing mark.
