you can use wireless mesh feature so that AP-b can connect to the other AP using 5G band and also provide connectivity to wireless clients there.

Daisy-chaining of IAP, if they are supposed to be operating in the same swarm/cluster, is not a supported deployment.

Hi people!
We have the following scenario:
An Access Point (AP-A) with two Ethernet ports, one of them connected to the switch and the other connected to another Access point (AP-B) (Ethernet Bridge).
When a mobile device connects via Wi-Fi to AP-B, the administration of this AP is lost, however the Wi-Fi service works. From that moment on we were left without management of the AP-B. To recover the administration we have to disconnect the mobile device from the AP-B and disconnect and connect the wire between the APs.
Does anyone know how we can solve this? I don't know if a loop is forming on AP-B or if there is some mechanism that blocks traffic from the management vlan.
We disabled MESH function (enable ESSID) to prevent a loop from forming between the connection through the 5G radios and the wired connection but doesn´t works.
Any idea about this issue?
