Rt-n56: No reactivation of 5GHz except reboot

A few suggested changes to your wireless config...

2.4 Ghz -

Use either channel 1, 6, or 11 (even in the EU).

Set channel width to HT20.

Transmit power can be set up to 25.

5 Ghz -

Take channel selection off auto and change the channel to one in the higher range that doesn't require DFS, In the US, I recommend starting at 153. Run iw list to see the non-DFS frequencies.

Set channel width to VHT80.

Transmit power can be set up to 30.

Both -

Set encryption to WPA2-PSK and AES.

I would also recommend Lizard Systems free WiFi Scanner to see what wireless traffic in your area looks like…

If none of that helps, I would then suggest setting OpenWrt/LEDE to factory defaults, and re-configuring from scratch.
