Bridging the wireless adapter with br0

This is my netplan from when during the first COVID lockdown I created a dual Wifi Access point with both a 2.4GHZ and a 5GHZ dongle. The Access point was dealt with by hostapd however I found the only way to enable the Wifi interfaces without making them client wifi devices was to name them in the ethernets. Probably not what you need but its another reference.

Worked fine however it didn’t have the bandwidth I required so moved my existing AP to the middle of the house to improve coverage.

network:
    version: 2
    renderer: networkd
    ethernets:
        eth0:
            dhcp4: false
            addresses: [192.168.0.10/24,192.168.0.1/24]
            gateway4: 192.168.0.254
            nameservers:
                addresses: [192.168.0.254]
            match:
                driver: bcmgenet smsc95xx lan78xx
            set-name: eth0
        wlan1:
            optional: true
        wlan2:
            optional: true

    bridges:
        br0:
            dhcp4: false
            interfaces:
            - wlan1
            - wlan2
            addresses:
            - 192.168.7.1/24
            nameservers:
                addresses:
                - 192.168.7.1
            parameters:
                stp: true
                forward-delay: 0
