Networking on Openplotter 1.1.0
#1
Hi,

I am new to the forum and to openplotter and I have been having problems with the networking, it may just be my misunderstanding. I will briefly describe what I have and what I am trying to do:

1. I am using a RPi 3B and have just updated to Openplotter 1.1.0.

2. I currently use iSailor in the wheelhouse on my Coaster 33 with AIS and NMEA data  from the legacy equipment over WIFI using a digital yacht iAIS. iSailor now allows autopilot output but the iAIS just broadcasts AIS data and any NMEA input electrically. It does receive data over WIFI, route or act as a client, so I can not route these messages back to my legacy autopilot. After looking at lots of options to facilitate this I came across Openplotter and like it a lot. It will give me something to build on but initially I want to...

Use the RPi 3B to act as client to the iAIS to receive AIS and legacy NMEA, rebroadcast this to the iPad running iSailor, receive Autopilot sentences from iSailor then output these to the ST6000 using an NMEA input. From my reading, this is doable but I have been unable to set up the RPi as AP+Client. Later I want to integrate WIFI but did not look too hard at that yet.

I have read the documentation, when I configure as AP+Client I can access Openplotter on clients but can not connect the RPi to anything else, the share internet channel wlan0 does not show up in the wifi bar. I just get 2 lines in/out. However when I set up as AP/Client I can connect to my local internet AP and if I log in via Openplotter can see both internet and access openplotter as a client.

My question is the latter the right way to go and if not how can I get the RPi in AP+Client mode to access a client.

Sorry about the length but thought it would be wise to describe exactly what I want to do.
