Hi,
I have similar issue so I don't open new topic.
I cannot connect using key between to openwrt devices. I tried both directions. Server side seems to be fine. I can connect from laptop using key (to both openwrt devices). But when using the same key on openwrt devices it is not woking - asking me for password.
Any idea what could be wrong:
From my laptop:
