Can anyone help me figure out the problem I am having with my wireless interface? No wireless devices can get a page loaded when i turn WMM mode on despite being served an ip and connecting to wifi. Once i turn off WMM they can. It's really odd but I don't want to be limited to 802.11a/802.11g speeds with it off and its driving me nuts. Much appreciated.

Remove this line and reboot the router:
option mtu '9000'
Did it but still no go
Did it work before ?
There is way too much overcustomisation done in your config.
Remove all useless-to-problematic parameters:
Make this default 1000 or zero
HT20
Both out, and add country code to 2.4GHz
All three out
These 3 out too
Firewall and dhcp look sane as in close to defaults.

No it never worked before. Even when it’s bone stock once WMM goes on it never works. I’m thinking it’s just a Broadcom chipset issue with openwrt and my router at this point
it is, and it'll never improve as long as you keep using Openwrt.

Due to its closed source drivers Broadcom is not well supported on OpenWRT.
You are using the Opensource drivers but not many people having Broadcom routers use OpenWRT.
I have/administer a lot of Broadcom routers and had better luck with another third party firmware
The 2.4 isnt running and hasn’t been running. I removed the options but it’s still not working. It’s only the wireless devices that connect, get served an ip, but never load a webpage it begins the process but never moves then fails. My laptop connects to the wireless and works fine. One thing I did notice that seems odd is the tx/rx rates are astronomical for one device, let’s say my laptop, and around what I would expect for the wireless ones. I don’t know what to make of that but with WMM off everyone on The wireless is more or less getting the same treatment in terms of tx/rx rates when associated with the wireless. I connected via wire from my laptop to check whether it being on wireless was the problem but nope, the first device that connects gets those astronomical rates but even with those rates that wireless device didn’t load the page
Yea it makes sense because I would have WMM on with DD-WRT and it was smooth sailing

What if I extract blobs and pcie files from a asus firmware and place them in the system files within openwrt?
What do you get from logs enabling one single AP with generic settings (i.e country set, and only set network lan, ap name and security key)?
You can download other set of non-distributable blobs from AOSP
Assuming they're forward compatible with the kernel your openwrt device is using.
At least they work with a rendition of mainline driver unlike blob for blob driver in OEM FW
This is probably unrelated, but the definition of the LAN interface is wrong, I do not understand how can it work at all.

Those files are not found in the open. Maybe your initial approach extracting them from OEM firmware was correct.
