Connectivity issues with wifi

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

im running Davidcs latest for my WRT3200ACM
Firmware Version : OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r13342-e35e40ad82 / LuCI Master git-20.144.63033-62ed4e6

I re-flashed the version a few days ago, and since then i have clients briefly disconnecting (from internet, they still seem connected to wifi) and speeds seem slower

ive googled around, and it seems like it has todo with the mwlwifi driver but I'm really not sure

this seems to be the same problem but i dont understand what i should change
they say

please use PSK to make sure the driver is all right.
but i really dont know what im suppose to do

3

i changed the wifi security from WPA2 PSK to WPA PSK

its too soon to be sure but it seems to have helped with some of the disconnecting and slow speeds

HOWEVER
i still get those same errors

4

ya no, still same issues, not any better

pc on the lan also has problems so im not so sure it has todo with wifi drivers

5

went back to stock openwrt, things seem better but we will see in the coming week

"staid # deleted"
error persist but like i said performance and connectivity seem better
