FriendlyElec R5C RTL8822CE WiFi chip does not support 5GHz AP mode. Both wlan0 and wlan1 locked to 2.4GHz-only (mode 2) by firmware/driver. Tested: - Channel 149 (5GHz): fails with 'mode (2) not found' - Channel 36 (5GHz): fails with 'mode (2) not found' - Both wlan0 and wlan1: same limitation - Regulatory domain persistence doesn't change mode Solution: Configure hostapd for 2.4GHz (hw_mode=g, channel 6) - VanLink2 now on wlan1, 2.4GHz channel 6 - VanLink2-2G still on wlan2, 2.4GHz channel 6 - Both working stably R5C not recommended for 5GHz AP use; consider Pi 5 or other board if 5GHz dual-band AP is required.

# Put the AP into br0 so Wi-Fi and the wired LAN port share one 10.42.1.0/24 segment.

# hostapd adds the wlan to the bridge after setting AP mode; the bridge itself + its
|
|
# wired member + the gateway IP are defined under /etc/systemd/network (2x-van-br0/lan).

# (state=ENABLED means it's actually beaconing) — used to detect a wedged radio that
