Cannot obtain an IP Address for the 5Ghz band, when its in client mode, i will send any info needed please help me out!
Ethernet works fine, and it gives out IP addresses and the 2.4ghz works perfectly too.
The 5Ghz band gives out ip addresses, but there stuck at getting an IP address when its in client mode, i tested it without client mode and it connects fine
Are the 2.4 and 5 GHz APs both in the same lan network? (they should be.)
What is the IP you get from the upstream AP? (on the main status page, look at "Upstream IPv4"). If it is also in the 192.168.1.X range as your LAN, routing will not work. You'd need to change the LAN IP.
(I've moved this to Installing and Using, as it is not a hardware question.)
This is my wireless config file

No radio country code is set; that will limit wifi performance. Set it to your actual country on both radios.
The IP address is never reported in Associated Stations when in Client mode. You only see a ? symbol under the host column.

Is the IP address reported in Network > Interfaces page?
Yes its reported, heres a screenshot
wlan0-1 is attached to LAN, so i believe i did that correctly. same issue.
i set the country to us
What is the openwrt device and version of OpenWrt?
I have read of problems using same/single radio for both client and master (AP) in the past with certain devices.
and its an Archer C7 V2
My HH5a uses same QCA9880 5 GHz radio as C7.
I quickly configured a wireless client. Then enabled master on same 5 GHz radio, using same channel number as my main wifi router's 5 GHz signal. Laptop seems to work fine when I switched from ethernet LAN to connecting to new 5 GHz wifi AP on HH5a, in briefest test to access internet.
I used 21.02.3 for HH5a which is a non-DSA build.
Last time I tried this was probably with LEDE 17 and I'm sure there was a major problem, but I can't remember the symptoms and don't quote me as it was so long ago.
Perhaps try old 19.07 ar71 build for your C7v2.
Don't keep settings as they are not compatible with non-DSA builds.
Take care not to brick the C7v2.... ie. read up on unbricking methods.
Or wait for another C7v2 owner to respond.
Good luck.
I'm already going to return it, I got a wrt Linksys router
I've already bricked it twice I'm back on original firmware
