Bug description

I think there is an issue with the OS network stack and thats the purpose of the tests. Totally ok - just want to get to bottom of it. Its not just raspap - its also expressvpn - without raspap even installed - performance is abysmal. Raspap has a similar issue - and because you are using cli so heavy/linux directly wrapped with php - your sw is perfect for isolating the layer thats having issues.

Sorry to be pest on all this - i really only trying to help the community.

On raspap - i only have raspap installed with the openvpn option installed but openvpn is disabled. no ad block, no other cli or raspap api installed. expressvpn was removed and purged.

I have eth0 and eth1 and wlan0 (built in)

I confirmed both eth0 and eth1 works on raspberry.

The topology now is: (fiber) -> router -> asus router acting as Access point -> (ethernet) -> eth0 on raspberry pi running raspap -> eth1 dongle -> (ethernet) -> linux desktop running manjaro linux

on the config for hotspot there is an option to select eth0, eth1, lo, wlan0. I shut down hotspot and selected eth1. I attempted to "save settings" This option is disabled.

So then i tried to start the hotspot again. It defaulted to wlan0. so then i did a soft kill in linux to disable the wlan0 sudo rfkill block wifi and went back to raspap - and tried to set to eth1. it didnt work - hotspot would not start because it the wlan0 was disabled.

rfkill: WLAN soft blocked wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->COUNTRY_UPDATE Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr dc:a6:32:5e:6a:05 and ssid "raspi-webgui" Failed to set beacon parameters wlan0: Could not connect to kernel driver Interface initialization failed wlan0: interface state COUNTRY_UPDATE->DISABLED wlan0: AP-DISABLED wlan0: Unable to setup interface. wlan0: interface state DISABLED->DISABLED wlan0: AP-DISABLED wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING

So digging in a little - if user doesnt select a wifi device, the save button is disabled. I think its in the .js code thats doin this - im not sure if thats intentional

its in custom.js starting on line 533 - eth1 isnt a wifi device - so no channel is selected and then the save settings button is disabled.

if (hw_mode === 'a') { selectableChannels = data.filter(item => item.MHz.toString().startsWith('5')); } else if (hw_mode !== 'ac') { selectableChannels = data.filter(item => item.MHz.toString().startsWith('24')); } else if (hw_mode === 'b') { selectableChannels = data.filter(item => item.MHz.toString().startsWith('24')); } else if (hw_mode === 'ac') { selectableChannels = data.filter(item => item.MHz.toString().startsWith('5')); }

// If selected channel doeesn't exist in allowed channels, set default or null (unsupported)
if (!selectableChannels.find(item => item.Channel === selected)) {
    if (selectableChannels.length === 0) {
        selectableChannels[0] = { Channel: null };
    } else {
        defaultChannel = selectableChannels[0].Channel;
        selected = defaultChannel
    }
}

// Set channel select with available values
channel_select.empty();
if (selectableChannels[0].Channel === null) {
    channel_select.append($("<option></option>").attr("value", "").text("---"));
    channel_select.prop("disabled", true);
    **btn_save.prop("disabled", true);**    // <---------------save button disabled here because selected device isnt wifi
} else {
    channel_select.prop("disabled", false);
    btn_save.prop("disabled", false);
    $.each(selectableChannels, function(key,value) {
        channel_select.append($("<option></option>").attr("value", value.Channel).text(value.Channel));
    });
    channel_select.val(selected);
}

Duplicate of https://github.com/RaspAP/raspap-webgui/discussions/1591. Think this is better addressed in your original thread, so closing this (which is less a bug report and more a feature request). Please be patient, I'll get to it. Thanks
