you can try the Reset to default values button and re-save
I seem to be affected by the same issue. It seems that the problem is that the AC3 somehow does not see the wireless interface and thus can't read the MAC address and as a consequence is not able to derive IPs/networks for the mesh?
Some steps I took:
After that I inspected the device itself:
So that's where I'm at :)
It might be noteworthy that I had to do the initial flash of the AREDN firmware from RouterOS 7.6 because I wasn't able to find an image to downgrade to 6.x as suggested. I did not run into the boot loop described as the potential issue though so I think that's fine?
I'm not sure that the ac2 & ac3 were supported in 3.23.4.0. Suggest trying the latest nightly build.

Hi Orv, on the Supported Devices list the ac2 and ac3 are listed as stable and released ... both with target ipq40xx
Best, Ed
I would tend to agree with Orv - try a more recent version.
I am running RF just fine on my hAPac3 on 2.4 GHz - NOT the minus channels which did not work a few months ago.
FWIW, as mentioned my original reply, I used the latest nighlty build (20230722-7c158ea) for my AC3 and ran into those problems. I believe the fix has to come from OpenWrt (see the referenced issue in my post above) as it seems the kernel module for the ath10k wifi does not support a compression feature that newer ath10k firmware uses.
I know there are AC3 models that do work and it's a stable/supported platform for AREDN but I happened to get a device that doesn't work and there are other documented cases (such as HB9BLA who wrote the original post).

And yet another ac3 flashed with no option to disable the Mesh and enable the LAN access point. I came from factory RouterOS 7.6 (couldn't downgrade as the factory was 7.6) via PXE server without any issues.

Admin page shows:
Current Version: 3.23.8.0 Hardware Type: (ipq40xx/mikrotik) mikrotik (hap-ac3)
Have done the following via the webgui:
Reset to first boot
Reset values
Default values
Flashing the router again with sysupgrade file via AREDN webgui and remove the 'keep existing config settings'
Support Data file downloaded as .gz (not .tgz) - I renamed the extension so I could upload it.
Not sure what I did but tried reverting back to RouterOS via Netinstall - no luck

Flashed rb.elf (AREDN) via PXE server and noticed in the basic settings area the settings looked good
Flashed (via AREDN interface) f/w verion 20231018-d6f6c4b and LAN access and the mesh sections have the enable/disable checks..
Like I mentioned - not sure what it was that gave me access to the LAN Access and disabling the Mesh.
Again- support document downloaded as a .gz - it's been renamed to .tgz so I can upload here
Beforehand, I tried to downgrade RouterOS and failed.
I was able to load AREDN firmware on my ac3 using the TFTP method.
I am running firmware version 20231018-d6f6c4b .
