Installed 22.03.5 last night. Came directly from the Stock firmware. Everything seems to work fine except the 2.4 ghz. Just being used as an AP. It mostly gets consistent pings like the example below. I've even seen it go as 4500 ms. Test with quite a few devices, IoT plugs/switches, Phones, Laptops, etc. The 5 ghz works fine.

I tried flashing every major release of OpenWRT except for 18 and they all have the same issue. Doesn't have the problem on stock firmware and I've also tested the same devices connected to different routers that have either Tomato or DD-WRT on them. I've set the country code and tried different power levels. All of the device that connect are within 5-10 meters. When testing other routers I configured the WiFi to use the same settings and channel. This even happens when there's only one device connected to the WiFi.
CPU Load Average usually sits between 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 to 0.08, 0.03, 0.01
There have been a couple of times that it had normal pings for a few minutes. One time it lasted about 20 minutes before I rebooted to see if it would work afterwards. Which it didn't. The first time it started working briefly was after changing the Beacon Interval which I seen others recommend on here for the high pings. But usually for the first few seconds after making any change to the router config, the pings will drop down to a normal range then go back up. See below...

Another thing, pings initiated from these devices are normal. It only seems to happen when the pings are initiated from other devices to them.
Any thoughts? Am I overlooking something or is this just a issue with OpenWRT and this chipset?
