The wireless drivers for this device are notoriously problematic, you might have found and incompatibility with your devices. Unfortunately, those drivers rely on a closed-sourced firmware, and the manufacturer seems to have halted all development.
Make sure that you are using the latest version of OpenWrt, and post your wireless configuration file here, but I would not have high hopes...
I have the same router, try going to Wireless settings and disable "Disassociate On Low Acknowledgement" in Advanced settings tab for both 2ghz and 5ghz. You can also disable "Allow legacy 802.11b rates" if you dont have any older devices. I run on N only, if you dont need extremely high speed on mobile devices.
Thanks for responses I have spent 2 days with hardly any sleep and no food messing with settings connection etc with no luck. As mentioned I have now seen it’s a known issue with these routers. Thanks all I think it’s a return job and switch to the Netgear R7800
Did try this still the same thanks for suggestion but think it’s just the Wi-fi driver sent back. Hopefully will have better luck with the Netgear 7800 £45 cheaper aswel
Thought I would give an update after getting the R7800 I found a much better WiFi signal definitely recommend. Although I was still getting the same issue with TV box it suddenly occurred to me the first and second TV box use the WPS button to connect to each other so I needed to install wpad and hostapd-utils so I could active WPS on the WiFi security page thanks to this old post:
Thank you all for your help and hope this helps others in the future
