I just flashed my Linksys WRT3200ACM from a factory build. Before flashing, I was able to connect to the internet via Wi-Fi. I've disabled all Wi-Fi capabilities on the ATT modem. After installing DD-WRT, nothing will connect over Wi-Fi, except for the router IP. I can access 192.168.1.1 from my phone and my computer and make changes and adjustments there, but otherwise URLs will not resolve. My computer is connected via ethernet to the modem and I am able to access internet that way, however when I completely disable the ethernet connection, the computer will not connect to the internet anymore. The computer has to be connected over ethernet in front of the router due to work VPN restrictions. Everything else in my house, though, is connected behind the router. Even though my phone is behind the router and the computer is in front of it, both are able to connect to 192.168.1.1

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong that's keeping the Wi-Fi from working.

I followed all of the steps here: https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=311117
and followed all of NordVPN's setup steps here: https://nordvpn.com/tutorials/dd-wrt/openvpn-gui/

My OpenVPN status does not say CONNECTED SUCCESS

It says:
Client: RECONNECTING init_instance
Local Address: (blank)
Remote Address: (blank)

Have you actually set the other router to passthrough/ modem mode?

Also.. have you set the SSID etc in wireless settings?

I took some time away from the computer and went for a run in the neighborhood to clear my head and my frustration.

I came home with a fresh head and sat down to research again and this time found something: https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=312750&sid=c67635199fbb629ab3cf6ccede7859bb

Per the troubleshooting advice there, I changed my router's address to 192.168.3.1 and that cleared up the Wi-Fi connectivity problems. I guess there was an IP conflict somewhere that I wasn't seeing on AT&T's modem Gateway page.
