Thank you for reading this post. I have a similar issue as @panda_madness , no WAN connection. Installed OpenWRT 18.06.4, and cannot get to Internet. The settings have been checked with my ISP support and confirmed that the Mac address is correct and a DHCP client IP address is assigned. From their side everything looks normal with this router hooked to their network. Other routers work fine here.
The overview screen does not show an active WAN connection (no IP address, etc). The WAN interface 1.2 shows a Tx and Rx packet count. Diagnostics: ping, etc time out. WiFi and LAN appears to be working fine.
I suspect that the WAN interface is working correctly, but not communicating with the rest of the router. I reverted back to the default settings to stay to the standard settings as close as possible. Is there a setting that may I have overlooked?
It's a bit hard to help you with so little information... No screenshots, no configuration files, no logs, no details about your ISP...

@ReiniervdL , welcome to the community!
Without having enough information, [just] a guess:
Perhaps you failed to reset the firewall back to defaults; and the DHCP answer from your ISP's server is getting blocked, hence no assigned IP address on WAN.
I would advise just resetting the router to defaults; and testing with a known default config.
@eduperez , @lleachii ,
Here is more information:
Here is an interesting part of the system log that keeps repeating:

I changed the ID in the "advanced" section, but did not help and I cannot leave it blank.

Hope this helps. Thanks for supporting.
The DHCP client seems to be rejecting 'root' as a client id. Are you sure you need it? Is that the correct value? Looks like you need to use a hex value there, not a string of text.
