-Please note that !WiFi interfaces do not appear in /sys/class/net in OpenWrt. Gateowrks typically uses the webadmin to configure the radio in AP or STA (client) mode. 
+Please note that !WiFi interfaces do not appear in /sys/class/net in OpenWrt.
+
+For testing !HaLow AP/STA/Mesh, Gateworks currently recommends avoiding the OpenWrt UCI layer for configuration of the interface, as it is not yet fully compatible with all features (i.e. WPA3 setup) out-of-the-box. Instead, a reliable approach is to have UCI not configure the !HaLow radio/interface, and manually set it up via the s1g tools (```wpa_supplicant_s1g```, ```hostapd_s1g```), explained in the [#configuration-(ap,-sta,-mesh) Configuration] section below. This route still allows for UCI / LuCI GUI to be used to configure other interfaces, bridges, etc. depending on your intended goal.
+
+{{{#!bash
+# Disable UCI’s wifi control for radio0 (gw16159)
+uci set wireless.radio0.disabled='1'
+uci commit wireless
+
+# Setup interface manually
+# i.e.
+iw phy phy0 interface add wlan0 type managed
+ifconfig wlan0 up
+# For quick testing, allow incoming traffic 
+/etc/init.d/firewall stop
+
+# Now bring up network with hostapd_s1g or wpa_supplicant_s1g
+}}}
+
+ **Note**: By default, the OpenWrt firewall will block incoming data from wlan0 as /etc/config/firewall does not assign it into a zone. For testing, you can stop and disable the firewall, or configure it properly according to the [https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/firewall/firewall_configuration OpenWrt firewall documentation].
