Ethernet Internet while running AP - CapnRon - 2017-09-14

How do I run the OpenPlotter Access Point on Wifi and connect to the internet over the ethernet port simultaneously?  I am running OpenPlotter 0.10.0 alpha on a new RaspberryPi 3.  I am getting instrument data to OpenCPN over the AP, but I have tried all the various combinations  in the WiFi tab to try and get internet access over the Ethernet connection.  It is hit or miss if it works, very hard to figure out what is wrong.  I have an IP address for the Ethernet port, I see it on my home Router, but Chromium says any site is unreachable.

i have the same issues i had to turn off the ap to get it to be stable with the ethernet..my laptop is down so i have been forced to use the pi to surf the net.
i am going to try to use a usb wireless later to see if that helps..i am still building things now, so i really only need ap when testing.

Ok, so it is not just me. What is strange is that there was a period when both the AP and the Ethernet connection to the Internet were working. At that time I had the AP enabled, was not using a bridge to eth0, but did have eth0 selected as a connection to internet. It did not work initially, but after awhile I had internet. But I have not been able to repeat that situation.

thanks,
Ron
