After evenroute left I was forced to update to OpenWRT on my own and its been really tough.
I'm new to networking but I'm a quick learner.
I managed to get ethernet and 2.4ghz working (with sometimes not very high signal) but the 5ghz band is not showing its empty on the control panel as well.
Like it's there but its not sending any signal.
I would like to know how to fix this and how to increase the signal of my 2.4ghz as well without breaking anything which is why i came here first.
Any advice or tips or tricks and what packages to install would be very helpful.
Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:

This appears to be your issue:
remove wwan from the network line... it should look like this:
config wifi-iface 'wifinet2'
option device 'radio0'
option mode 'ap'
option network 'lan'
option ssid 'S2'
option encryption 'psk2'
option key 'Redacted'
Then restart your device and test again.
I cant its telling me wireless is readonly and i cant install packages.
When i load in ssh
it says
Your JFFS2-partition seems full and overlayfs is mounted read-only.
Please try to remove files from /overlay/upper/... and reboot!
what do you see when you issue these commands:
df -h

oddly, the overlay appears to be mounted as read/write, so not exactly sure what is happening offhand.
But you're basically out of space on your overlay (which does cause it to mount as read-only)... did you install any packages? or upgrade anything?
Yes i installed a few things I found when trying to install adguard home.. i think it messed up after that. Also this used to be IQrouterV3 and i didnt even know at the time i was supposed to copy all the packages they had.. so im out of that as well =/
Is there any way to find those packages for the IQRouterV3?
if so I guess I could just reflash the device and start over?
Make a backup and then reset to defaults.

Just for academics:
Why would any packages need to be added when just deleting a configuration line?
okay I will try that.
Oh I have a lot more things in question that that. I didnt wanna flood the forum with all my questions lol
I'm with @psherman on the reset but I'll just say it outloud: it looks corrupted, for whatever reason and resetting is faster than hunting why down.
Okay I just reset but my issue with 5ghz still doesnt show
Do the same dump @psherman asked for before.
Did you restore your config or are you working from the default config?
