Hey Guys. Sorry another newbie here. I just replaced my router with Banana Pi R4 with BPI-BE14 wifi card.
I can connect all my Wifi devices apart from my 2 x Amazon Echos. I have tired every setting under the Wifi settings with still no luck.
Echos can still connect to my old router OK.
Running the latest OpenWrt 24.10.0-rc2. Clean Install.
Nothing in SystemLog about attempting to connect.
Anyone point me in the right direction.... Thanks!

Don't use sae-mixed.
@frollic. Thanks, I should have mentioned I have tried the other options for Wifi encryption. I have even tried no encryption with no luck.
Let's see the rest of the config to see if there are any other things that might be potential culprits:

I'm not seeing anything obviously wrong, but....
How many devices are in your network? You have a pool size of just 20 IPs in your DHCP server.
Thanks @psherman
I have about 40 devices...
Pool size is 20, All devices have assigned static IPs outside of the pool.
Even both Echos have assigned IP address..
I dont think its getting that far as I cant see connecting in the systemlog, like i see other devices connecting OK.
Echos are also sitting right next to the banana pi!
Maybe reset the echo devices to defaults and see if they will connect with DHCP?
The only other thing to look at is the config of your 2g radio.
HT20 might work better here, if that is an option for your device.
When setting up the echo, do you see the networks in the Alexa app? Or do they not show at all?
And if they see it, check the channels you are using. On 2.4GHz it might be it okay, but on 5Ghz there will be channels that they don't support.
Is EHT correct?
I think EHT is correct. I have also tried creating another AP with every N,AC,AX and BE setting. again doesn't make any difference.
Admittedly I have been testing all these setting by creating a new AP and not editing my main AP, Which I am guessing is OK?
@totkeks I have also tried 2.5G and 5G APs. Yes they are showing up in the alexa app.
Have even used a Wifi scanner, and made settings from the router they do connect to the same in WRT.. (Mode, Band, Channel and Width ETC)
Have also defaulted the darn things.
I see I can change the log level I will try that next and hopefully see the initial handshake attemps?
config wifi-device 'radio1'

option ssid 'xxxxx'
option encryption 'psk2'
option key 'yyyyy'
works for my Echo show (pre 2024).
If it helps eero provides wpa2+ccmp only.
Finally got a chance to get back to this. Used a wireless scanner and set the same config as the old router. ( AC mode, Channel 183, and 80Mhz Width )
Had to set change my main wireless channels, and not just one i added for testing.
HT40 was the answer.
Thank you all for the suggestions. Much appreciated. Wife is happy again!
