Hello,
Thank you two questions..
Where is the settings field to perform this step?
Set "enforce ethernet" below uplink (Settings --> Uplink --> Uplink preference --> Ethernet).
Checking the box "Can be used without and uplink" under the advanced settings of the SSID.
I would think that the setting would only apply to the SSID itself and not the RAP requiring e0 to be online in order for it to complete its POST and anable the WLAN?
