Hi.
I have a few switches and several APs around a big building. I have set up OpenWRT as dumb ap, but also with two plans and two SSID. A few of them works fine, but some are breaking my whole network.
Almost as if they were taking over the role of DHCP servers or something like that. The moment I unplug them network gets back to normal.
Any ideas?
Looks like you did not configure it as a real "dumb AP", and it is still acting as a DHCP server.
Check the "disable DHCP on this interface" box. Also click the IPV6 settings tab and set all of those to disabled.
Please take a look:

Make VLANs in the switch set every one to "tagged" on both the trunk ethernet cable and the CPU port.
Make a separate bridge interface for each VLAN.
The VLAN that you want to be able to log into the router for administration can be the original "lan". It should have a static IP that does not conflict with anything and DHCP server turned off both v4 and v6.
The ones that are going to be completely dumb bridges from wired to wifi can be set with protocol "Unmanaged" or None.
In each bridge, have the corresponding wifi AP and one of the eth0.x ethernets.
Do not connect anything to eth0 by itself. Always specify the VLAN.
Suggest making a temporary AP that is in the LAN bridge for doing this setup. This way if you lose connection by Ethernet you can still log in on wifi.

what do you mean by "breaking my network?"
The discussion might have continued from here.
