[Bug]: Channel name cannot be set (range extender)

The problem

If a Shelly is connected via the range extender function of another Shelly (Wi-Fi AP), then the "ChannelName" (Relay) can not be set in the adapter. It is always overwritten with the "ChannelName" of the host (Shelly with Ragenextender).

Maybe it's because the Shelly has the same IP address in the network as the host (just with a different port). Could this perhaps be fixed? So that the “ChannelName” can be set independently of the IP address?

Range extender is not supported right now and leads to a lot of other issues

A pity. So far everything has been running smoothly for me with the range extender, except that due to this bug the channel name is the same for all Shellys in the adapter.
