After wiping my settings on the most recent firmware, it seems like my WAN interface isn't picking up an IP address:
Rebooted a few times and can confirm the modem is plugged into the "Internet" (Yellow) port in the back and the "wan" interface is selected as the Device. Model is Linksys WRT-3200ACM
A view of my device list for reference:
Thanks for your help as always.

It does seem like the WiFi keeps kicking me off as well. I mirrored the settings from my previous build. (Using only screenshots, did NOT restore the config)

What is the upstream device? Cable modem? DSL modem? ONT? Something else?
Don't use sae-mixed. Stick with WPA2 or WPA3.
Thank you, I will change it now and see if that makes a difference.
I am using Spectrum cable, DOSIS 3.1 modem. (300 Mbps down) It's connected to the WAN port with a CAT6 cable. I can get the model number if that helps.
-Pyro
Power everything off (cable modem + router). Power up the cable modem and let it boot up. Then reboot the cable modem again (you might need to repeat this a few times). Then after the cable modem has fully booted, plug in power to your router and let it boot up. Check the connection status once it has completed the boot cycle.
Cable modem Model is ET2251
I rebooted the cable modem 3 times for good measure, then gave my router power and booted it up with the switch on the back. Still having the same issue, no WAN IP. I also notice that while navitaging the interface through Edge/Chrome it seems to have trouble loading the page then eventually times out and I need to reboot the device again. (Pings are working just fine however) Is this router screwed?
-Pyro
After rebooting again, I was able to log back in for just a minute and change both radios to WPA3. It seems to be broadcasting the SSID but just says "Can't connect to this network" on mutliple PCs.
-Pyro
Try resetting your router to defaults. This will eliminate any of the variables with configurations -- it should just work out of the box.
The cable modem may need to be powered off for a while to clear its 'learned MAC' -- often a reboot or two will clear it, but sometimes it requires a longish power down (a few mins or more).
Thanks, I will keep the moden powered off while I factory reset the router and get back to you.
-Pyro
Looks like flashing the firmware back to the default Linksys firmware and flashing back to OpenWRT did the trick. Everything seems to be working as expected now. And the wireless radios aren't dropping anyone since changing the security to WPA2. Thanks very much for your help!
-Pyro
WPA3 and mwlwifi (and mixed mode in particular) is a known weakness with mwlwifi.
