Accessing AP network from bridged container

Product support
1

Setup
The device is connected to the internet via ethernet and opens a Wifi-Hotspot for local devices in it’s proximity. The AP configuration is taken from the documentation with the addition of the lines addresses=192.168.254.100/24
dns=8.8.8.8,1.1.1.1

Problem
I can’t reach devices in the AP Network (192.168.254.xx) from a container in the standard network mode. Only from containers in network_mode=host I can establish a connection.

I’m not sure how the routing is setup in the background. What would be the correct configuration to reach devices in the AP subnet from containers connected to the balena bridge?

Hi, there should not be any issues with container with bridged networking to reach the devices connected to the hotspot. Would it be possible for you to provide me support access to such a device, so that I can check what could be possibly going wrong? If yes, I will post here some instructions for how we can do that.

Thanks,
Zahari
