Hello here again! I was able to reinstall the mini appliance with Core Update 188 and restore my configuration. So far so good. Now to the issue! hostapd does not want to stay active. The network card is a Qualcomm Atheros QCA986x/988x 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter These are the AP settings …

In the end I set the blue0 to the last ethernet port and set up a raspberry pi as hostapd access point and bridged the connection, disabled MAC filtering and now at least the wireless connection works again :person_shrugging:

After all of today’s issues

It was solved by fixing DNS and starting unbound manually over ssh, now also the hostapd service stays active
