HI Karotu

You'll need to go into the Grase network settings page, select the correct
interfaces, and hit save. (Even if the correct interface names are shown,
please hit save anyway). Then reboot again and see if that fixes your issue.

If that still doesn't work, please collect support information (
https://grasehotspot.org/support/collecting-support-information/) to assist
us.

Regards

Tim
