Many thanks for the info regarding esp8266 and the 3200. I switched to ATH2 as suggested and am running flawlessly with multiple esp8266 devices which I use for temperature/humidity monitor and control. I also have a couple of cameras on the same link which seem to work fine.I suspect that if I wanted to get better range and monitor my link, it might be a problem but the devices are working well. I have upgraded to r36168 and the problem still exists.

Have done a lot more experimenting and found that the Sonoff devices (ESP8266) have no problem connecting and staying connected with wmm disabled. Unfortunately wmm disabled causes problems with most other devices. I resolved this by adding a virtual interface where I now have two 2.4 ssid's on my 3200's. One interface has wmm enabled and the the other disabled. All devices now connect and stay that way without problem. In one case I have three Sonoff devices and six ip cameras running on one 3200 flawlessly. _________________ Starlink & DSL -> TPLink TL-R470T+

Hi all.

I've found the solution for working together ESP8266 and WRT3200ACM
And I wish I had found your post 10 hours ago..doh! Spent the entire day trying to figure out why DD-WRT would not connect my ESP8266 device but the same 3200ACM flashed with OpenWRT would work.
I have no experience with OpenWRT but as far as I could see, it was using the same Wifi radio in ath1. In fact, I could not find ath2 in OpenWRT - maybe they don't even support it.
This leads me to think there's nothing wrong with the radio itself but something about DD-WRT (v3.0-r37442) is not right.
