Hello. After installing the firmware on your router. My WIFI is not working. I have enabled it in the network settings. But the lights on the router do not light up. And the access point does not appear. What could be the problem? Please use simple language, I'm a beginner
Set country code and remove legacy rate checkbox (it is about supporting 11b devices)
Check System/logs tab after what is logged while starting access point.
In upper advanced tab...
Since your device is broadcom based, once you scan wifi or make survey the access point may become unavailable, so you have to reboot device to clear it up.
Close this dialog and disable/enable again, then check system logs. It should pop up immediately, iphones or androids cache scans for 5-15s, so you may wait on them...
EDIT: you need to "save and apply" after saving in this dialog, parameters are not instantly applied.
EDIT2: in lower advanced tab set wifi mac address to random, so your further screenshots are safe to post on the net.

Did. Here is the system log
Wifi started, should become visible in wifi scan for clients?
That's the problem. My windows laptop and my android don't see the network
My router is partially supported. Maybe that's the problem?
router's fully supported, problem is the wifi, Broadcom drivers suck.
are you sure your clients are 802.11b/g capable ?

Yes, the phone is for sure. This is the latest Samsung s24. The network appeared but now, a connection error. Here are the logs. Thank you so much for your help
But my router has limited OpenWRT support. Could that be the reason?
You need to select network "LAN" in the network in lower part. That provides DHCP address.
Tap 10x samsung intelligent wifi, version new menu will be more informative.
That means you get very limited wifi, the wired part is fine (matching devices of time it was produced)
Note that ASUS is one of major manufacturers providing software updates roughly forever, maybe this is of use to you....
