You are advised not to use Virtual Wireless interface(s) simultaneously with a physical interface in Wireless Ethernet Bridge mode. It may still work properly. However, doing this will not work in Media Bridge mode. Please also be aware that some routers can't pass IPv6 traffic in Wireless Ethernet Bridge mode.(( | You are advised not to use Virtual Wireless interface(s) simultaneously with a physical interface in Wireless Ethernet Bridge mode.
