@jose-pr i've built and loaded that successfully on my router (Linux lede 4.4.53 #0 Tue Mar 14 12:29:03 2017 mips GNU/Linux) but it has the same issue as stated in the above post (for me).
note: i've also just built and loaded Grawp/rtl8812au_rtl8821au (RTL871X: rtl8812au v4.3.20_16317.20160108) succesfully, same issue as above (for me).
edit: @jose-pr can you provide the build fail messages? otherwise it's hard for someone to help
edit2: my issue seems to be the same as here: https://github.com/dl12345/rtl8812au/issues/1 and https://github.com/dl12345/rtl8812au/issues/2
Okay, so now going back at it and I got the AP to broadcast with a manual setup via command line (broadcasting with hostapd).
and here we are with client mode (but i need to make route rules. this was connected with wpa_supplicant and udhcpc):

edit again: actually i was confused trying to get it routed on net masked 255.252.0.0 network but it's connected just fine on a 255.255.255.0 network with the wpa_supplicant and udhcpc commands. [i need to figure out why it wasn't routed properly on a 255.252.0.0 network but i can't test that right now] but im using it to send this message through my router. pretty happy
edit again: there wasn't a routing issue before it was a dns issue. which was not handling the dns provided by the hotspot (so that you could login). once i edited /usr/share/udhcpc/default.script to understand $dns i had no issues with that network either
