MR80 plus 2 MS Login Issue

I have search on and off for months trying to find a solution to my problem. 

 

I have a mesh system setup and working.  The MR80 has an IP of 192.168.3.2 and sits behind a firewall appliance.  The FW handles all DHCP.  The MR80 is in bridge mode.  All devices are at firmware V1.1.7.12_3.1.108.

 

I can access the two MS units Web GUI's via there static IP addresses.  I cannot access the MR80 Web GUI.  Pinging the MR80 does not even return "Unreachable".  However, the mesh is working any WiFi device can access the internet.

 

I have done a reset.  I have disabled and enabled the MR80's IP address on the firewall.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you

    Do you mean AP mode for the MR? There is no bridge mode.

     

    How is the MR configured for AP mode, Dynamic or using Static IP address configuration ON the MRs web page for AP mode?

      Yes, AP mode

      The device has a static IP address of 192.168.3.2.  

      192.168.3.1 is the firewall port for wireless clients

        Is the static IP address set ON the MR or given on a IP address reservation on the firewall device? 

        What happens if you set the MR back to router mode and disconnect it from the firewall device, does the MRs web page log in work then?
