I need to be able to connect to the 2.4ghz to be able to add accessories to my homekit.

Please let me know if you need any other info.

It's a lot easier to follow if you post the /etc/config files instead of uci dumps.

You need the network option to attach the AP to a network. There is no option network on wifinet2.

Also, set all radios to the same country. Probably not causing a problem yet as two of them are disabled.

I have them all set to lan I thought?

turn off 11r, change the upper band channel to something other than 165, as this is a 20MHz only channel...

as previously mentioned - align the country domains to one - you have CA and US - they're not the same.
