For some odd reason , only one phone can connect to this Wi-Fi

Only one device can see the Wi-Fi , show up and I am not too sure , are there any red flags with this config

You should probably list what devices you've tried, and which are successful in seeing it. (And confirm you mean they can't see it at all, or can't connect?)

Are you sure those phones support AX? Try disabling 802.11w support, I have seen some older Samsungs which failed to connect even with 802.11w "Optional" (but it was before AX).

Also make a rough list of what versions of iOS, windowes and android those "devices" have.

Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:

Hi Jeff , they cannot see the SSID at all .

Phone that can Connect is Samsung A14 Model number SM- A14SF/DS

Phone that cant connect is Galaxy A04e SM-A042F/DS

I am honestly not too sure , as I am not too skilled at wireless networking ,

However the Phone that can Connect is Samsung A14 Model number SM- A14SF/DS

and the Phone that cant connect is Galaxy A04e SM-A042F/DS

https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_quietly_unveils_the_galaxy_a04e_which_should_be_the_cheapest_a04_version_so_far-news-56236.php - it says, it's just 2.4 GHz... so, it's not OpenWrt's fault.

Solution is to run same AP configuration in both / all 3 bands i.e same authentication + same network with dhcp server. Multi-band devices will get to the best band while ancient devices will be able to connect at all.

The guy showed us 5GHz AP and the phone which runs on 2.4 GHz band only. Clearly problem is in there somewhere. Do I look like a telepath :rofl: to guess availability of other bands?
