That's because ZBT ships their devices with a firmware containing Mediatek/Ralink's proprietary driver as well as the needed proprietary user-space tools. However, this driver only supports either (multi-SSID) AP-mode or Station-mode, but not both at the same time. > > Because I`m focussing on a mesh solution, I tested Openwrt/Lede based > qMp (qmp.cat) but having the same issues described here.

The main problem here is that rt2860_ap driver (which was at least partially also published under GPLv2 terms, you can find it on github) cannot do AdHoc mode which is needed for mesh stuff. > So help is very much appreciated. I'll be working on sorting things out for MT7620 once the kickstarter project I created for that purpose reaches its goal.
