I have a couple of issues, likely related. The main being I’d like to use the 5ghz, but it just fails no matter what it seems on obtaining IP.
The other was the initial IP of the router, I’d set it to 192.168.13.5, but it would in DHCP still give out the .1 as default gateway. It just wouldn’t let me delete the .5 entry and use the .1 even. I’d have to revert each time. I have .1 and .5 set currently, which works fine, but I’d like to know what is going on. It didn’t work for clients until I added the .1 entry by the way. Internally I could update the package listings, but no internet for clients until that was added. Might be a luci interface issue, or I just plugged in the cables backwards and that’s messing up the works… unsure.

Wireless for radio0 seems to be fine, and of course my wired clients are fine, save having 2 ips for the router itself.
