    Hi guys, 

    I thought i already started this but could not see any information so I thought I enter it again.

    I have 2 AP375

    This is what I want to acheive

    internet -> Switch -> AP375 (PORTAL) -> AP375 (POINT)

    both are running frimware 8.12.0.1_89864 (Digitally Signed Production build

    I belve I am folloing the steps correctly as detailed as I did havea nother system working before.

    plug both units to switch

    let them get IP address in same network

    turn Extended ESSID OFF

    disconnect one unit (the non controller unit)

    and plug it on with PoE only (no ethernet lan connection)

    what I was seeing was the AP that was to be a POINT was a Client on the controller/Portal AP?

    can someone please  shed some light on what is happening and what step am I  missing?

    Is the SW/firmware version wrong?

    Thanking you in advance

    Klime

    I have to admiit Not sure what happened But it all came good.

    Still cannot explain why the "point" was associating as a client to the portal instread of a POIN.

    anyway Thank you for the pointers (video, article) and I am keeping fingers crossed?
