Wireless bridges lose group after power loss
I have a number of wireless bridges running across a large campsite. Whenever I lose power a few of my grouped bridges will drop and the access points will mesh instead of using the bridge. This then shows the bridges as wired instead of grouped/mesh clients. The mesh now keeps the AP's connected instead of the bridges even though they are still very well connected. This causes a bouncing issue with ports being blocked due to a loop since the bridges/AP's now have two connections. I can delete the access points and the bridges and re-add them back one at a time in OMADA. When I add the remote bridge it asks what main AP/bridge to use and it will connect and show in the group under the main AP. I can then re-add the access point and it will work that way until the power goes out then the AP's go back mesh. There is no way to lock these bridges as clients to the designated main AP from the OC200 controller. The mesh option is also greyed out since they are now showing wired connection back feeding from the access points. During setup only once was I able to get one to setup as a client AP as you can see below. There is no way to make any of my bridges a client from the gui that I can see. Ideas? Thoughts? I am about to replace them with ubiquiti LOCO's if I cannot get them to stay as clients somehow.
