I've had pretty mixed results using the on-board WiFi, particularly when something is also using the USB3 ports.
Thank you for your response.
The GL-inet router is already connected to RPi and all devices are accessing to the Internet bridging thru the USB-to-WiFi (wlan1) device. This is am stable configuration, but internal WiFi is wireless AP.
Unfortunately, I can't change the Go-free configuration to behave as client. This is a close device that is basically broadcasting NMEA messages thru WiFi.
That is the reason why I am asking how to break the association between Ethernet and the RPi's WiFi, so I can use Ethernet as AP and WiFi as Client.
Tests done: If I suppress the AP and the bridge functionality, then I am able to have the internal WiFi (wlan0) as a client of the Go-Free and the external USB-to-WiFi as a Client of far away Internet up-link. It's not extremely stable, but I can have access to the internet from RPi. In such case, the route is off service.
Again, my request is how to create an Ethernet AP disassociated from the internal WiFi? Network utility doesn't allow to the create an AP if you do not include the WiFi. Actually, AP functionality is based on the WiFi and you can add the Ethernet. I sort of need these the opposite way.
Thanks a lot for your help and references
