I have had significant performance issues on my R7500 v2 router since my upgrade to from Lede to OpenWrt 18. Additionally, some of my devices won't connect or only show a connection without any actual network access. I've researched and updated my wireless config file for various potential issues. I've also noticed system log errors related to wlan.
I'd really appreciate any help or guidance that the forum members can provide.
Parts of the log file are as follows:
