The problem:
When my Omega2 boots up I get 4~8 pings (over wireless), as seen by a different system on the network. Then the omega2 goes silent. Everything is in the same flat net 192.168.1.X. I am 98% sure this is classic networking problem, not wireless. If I install tcpdump on the omega2, then watch wlan (tcpdump -i wlan) I can see normal traffic on my network, even after the 4~8 pings. I am so stumped.
A network restart "/etc/init.d/network restart" will get me 4~8 pings.
A network down/up will bring up the connection indefinitely "ifconfig wlan down ; ifconfig wlan up". WTF!
I have ripped most of OpenWRT apart trying to find the source of this problem. I cant seem to find anything! I have tried going after the normal problem children, like iptables/routing/wireless ... Noting.
Ripping my hair out over this one.
Hardware, Omega2:

Running 18.06.01, I have also tried the current snapshot build.
Clean build, about 20 seconds after boot, it no longer responds to ping/nmap/ssh:
