Wireless is not associated Comtrend AR-5315u

I am not an expert on the Broadcom wireless, but it looks like you've got a BCM43217 and I believe that it can only be used as an AP or as a STA at any given time.

You might also want to read the following for some further diagnostics with "recent" Broadcom chips.

Edit: Another possible cause is that, if it supports both simultaneously, they need to be on the same channel.
