I'm running OpenWRT 18.06.1 on a Linksys WRT3200ACM. The device has four antennae and shows three Atheros interfaces: an nac, a bgn, and a bgnac (in that order). The first interface works like a champ, but I'm trying to connect some 2.4GHz devices. The third seems to work best when configured with the same ESSID as one of the others but on a different frequency. That's another issue for another day.

Anyways, when I connect my laptop to the 2.4 GHz network, it works fine:

When I connect my phone or most any other device (of about 10 devices, two of them worked) I see this:

This only happens on the 2.4GHz bgn interface, and LuCI shows the device to be connected with a ? for the host field. I've tried this:

• With a fresh flash, the only change being enabling the wireless network


• With this interface on its own network


• With this network as a 2.4GHz equivalent of the network running on nac

And I get the same problem regardless of what I do. I've tried restarting dnsmasq and restarting the network; I'm not sure what else to do. How can I get wlan1 to hand out DHCP addresses so my 2.4GHz only devices can work?
