I have a hAP ax^2 and by default i understand having the bridge ether 2 to ether 5. I believe the bridge setup those 4 port to slave. By removing the bridge i don’t have access with the router. My objective is to remove the slave to setup my port forwarding. Need some help Thank you. i have upload some pic for info.


If you start from defaults, then there are quite a few things to change:
- firewall filters prevent connections to router itself via any interface which are not members of LAN interface list. So you have to add any interfaces you remove from bridge to this list.
- you have to add IP setup to now stand-alone interfaces.
I suggest you to start by connecting via e.g. ether2, remove ether5 from bridge, add ether5 to LAN interface list, add IP config to ether5. Then connect again via ether5, verify you can access router amd proceed witj the rest of ports.
Can you please elaborate on this:
My objective is to remove the slave to setup my port forwarding.
It’s either me missing the purpose or you missing the concept.
cause by having the ether on slaven cannot setup the port forwarding somehow as you can see on the image.
