I looked this into a while ago and couldn't find an elegant solution, so here goes again incase I just missed something obvious
How can I make CAPSMAN AP's work like every single other wifi device out there on the market, and have both 2.4ghz and 5ghz radio's be treated like a single network? Not the same SSID, but the same layer2 broadcast domain. Because as far as I can tell I can't do this when its not in local forwarding mode. 2.4ghz and 5ghz radio's are treated as entirely separate interfaces
The workaround I could find is bridge them at the CAPSMAN controller, but this is not what I call elegant or efficient because - correct me if i'm wrong - I then need to create a separate bridge for each and every apartment (to avoid traffic going between different rooms), and broadcast/multicast traffic routes from the AP, through to the controller, and then back to the AP on the other interface. Rather than staying locally on the AP
Put another way, can the 2.4ghz and 5ghz radio's be bridged at the AP? rather than at the controller?
I essentially want CAP forwarding mode, the only difference is I want 2.4ghz and 5ghz bridged together and treated like a single forwarding interface rather than 2 separate ones
