Two problems I hope you will help with. This is a boat installation.
1. I can access the Groove with my laptop running Mint 18 via http and wine/winbox. It is set up CPE default IP 192.168.88.1. I have set Netmask to 255.255.255.254.
I can see about 100 routers around me. 30 or so are not broadcasting their SSID. My phone and laptop see the four marina SSID and I can connect to them. The Groove does not see them. I entered their security profiles manually and rescanned. They do not show up. I tried to connect to some of the non broadcast SSID without success. Can I get the marina SSID to show up on the Groove?

2. I have the hAP ac lite router setup as Home AP Dual with IP of 192.168.89.1. Netmask is 255.255.255.254. DHCP server range is 192.168.89.10 - 192.168.89.254. I can access the hAP with my laptop via http and wine/winbox. I must assign manually assign the addresses for wired connection. The router DHCP server assigns an IP - 192.168.89.254 but the connection just hangs.

If I connect with my phone the DHCP server assigns an IP 192.168.88.252 [not a typo] and I can access the Router OS @ 192.168.89.1. I cannot access the Groove through this connection and pinging 192.168.88.1 fails.

How do I setup a wired and wireless connection with the hAP and access the Groove?
