Thank you @w32pamela for the pointers and suggestion to post config - much appreciated (and I should have thought of that - my bad). Here are my AP and Groove configs (note: searching the Wiki, I actually used the "export compact". Hopefully this provides verbose enough detail for initial troubleshooting.) Again, I'm able to connect to Groove via the hAP. And, I'm able top connect to a known-good wifi AP from the Groove (and seem to see some broadcast traffic between the AP I'm connecting the Groove to and the Groove). But, I'm not able top access internet via the hAP.
Again, grateful for any tips/suggestions on what I might be missing.
thanks!
Here is the config for the hAP:
