Here goes, another post with issues regarding the DL-WRX36

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration

This post was originally asking how to failsafe and regain SSH access with additional request to help me get internet access. I have regained access to the router via SSH and Luci so now I would like to ask for help regarding internet connection, more specifically the WiFi is completey dead. Here is hopefully the necessary info...

This looks very close to default and it should work but there's no country set on radio1. Set both radios to the same country. Also don't set wmm to 0, WMM is a requirement for 11n and higher modulations.

Thanks for the reply. I think I used those commands at an awkward time after I had changed a couple of settings. I assume WMM On would be 1 and that is how I have it now. I've also set the country code, prior to and after using these commands, to no avail.

What's odd is that I can connect to the WiFi channels of the router, but the WiFi just doesn't work. It even displays the connection strength in Luci, and the RX/TX rates...

I would take the wmm lines out entirely. Especially as a beginner the further you move from a default configuration the more likely it is to break.

That is a networking problem then. Most phones will disconnect if they can't get a DHCP address and reach the Internet.

So I should disable or enable WMM? There's just a checkbox and it's currently ticked.

And of course, I've been at this for hours but suddenly after your reply, my WiFi just magically works.

The default is the box ticked, which (despite the confusing description) must mean that WMM is enabled. So leave it that way.

Got it, thanks. If I have any more questions I'll refer to you, hopefully you don't mind, lol
