Please tell me how you expect to have three subnets work on the same bridge. Perhaps leaving them unbridged will satisfy your needs if you want separate subnets. Otherwise, whatever is on br1 will have to be the same subnet AFAIK. Meaning, you have to undo all of the unbridged settings on the VAPs and use the startup commands and set the secondary dhcp for br1. I thought that was the idea?

You *should* be able to remove all of your secondary dhcp server configs and only have one for br1. I thought this was clearly understood.

There are currently three separate subnets. I would prefer to have the three interfaces (one 2.4Ghz wireless, one 5Ghz wireless, and one wired) all on the same subnet, which is what assigning them to the same bridge was supposed to accomplish.

As soon as I change the wireless interfaces to "Bridged", all of the unbridged settings go away--they literally disappear from the administration page.

When I remove the additional DHCP lines under "Multiple DHCP Server", it doesn't rectify the problem.

Is adding the startup commands the next logical step?

Edited to add: I should clarify, when I refer to "currently" in this thread, I mean in the before-changes state. After making changes that fail, I revert to a last-good setup via the settings restore feature.

Again, this is where the order in which you change settings takes precedence. As a last resort, you could just do a hard reset and start from scratch. When you add a vap, what is the last step? Adding the dhcp server instance? That should be the first thing you remove, perhaps.
