Yes, the problem is that Station Dump only shows something when clients are connected.

and yousaf465 said that his clients can not see the router, as if no beacons are sent.

But something is sent according to screenshots (TX 365 OK).

I have not found many reports about the router in the forum.

The last report was possibly this one:

https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=1224107#1224107

I also just see a typo from me

well if there was openwrt on the router before then it can't hurt to delete the nvram

nvram erease && reboot

it can't work like this, the correct command is

nvram erase && reboot

So maybe delete the nvram again (correctly) or try the image from the linked build thread.

I am in any case somewhat perplexed with the router, visually everything looks ok.

I used nvram erase from wiki.
The strange thing is I can only I only see "Wifi hotspot" created on windows laptop only in site survey. I tried searching for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wifi hotspot created in Samsung Galaxy S10 but couldn't find any.
secondly, I don't see dd-wrt's SSID both 2.4GHz and 5Ghz on any device android or windows, nor do I see FTTH/modem's SSID in the site survey which is quite strange.
I can only transmit but have zero receive packets on both 2.4GHz and 5Ghz.
can it be due to broken antenna probably?

Difficult to say As a counter question, what do you see as options for the antenna chains? (advanced WLAN settings) Can you select antenna 1 and antenna 2 individually? The router last worked with openwrt before you flashed dd-wrt?

I can only select 1 or 1+2

router was working 3 years back without any issue. it was stored since then. when I tried to access it over lan 1 week back, couldn't access it, had to install tplink official firmware using tftp flash.

You could try using only Antenna 1. or see if the TP-Link fimrware works or openwrt I mean if the router has a hardware defect then you can save the further guessing.

why I can see Windows created Hotspots in site survey but not any SSIDs? FTTH/modem's 2.4Ghz, Tomato's 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, solar inverter's 2.4Ghz.

Edit: antenna 1 same result. can only see windows created Hotspot nothing else. No received packets

Well, I would first check if the router works properly with the stock firmware. I mean if it works properly with the stock firmware then it won't be defective. It would make sense to test it first before creating invalid tickets.

So I should revert back to stock? In stock, I will not this many options

Well, you wrote that you haven't used the router for a long time and when you took it out again it stopped working.

you have flashed the stock firmware via tftp (but as far as I understand it not tested for function)

and then flashed dd-wrt

so that would be not bad if you would test the router with the stock firmware

then you could exclude a defect or in case of a defect that it is a dd-wrt problem

I have to agree with @ho1Aetoo, I am beginning to think that it is not DD-WRT related but hardware...

My first few thoughts are configure it based on the settings linked here:
https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=324014

for all we know you are getting wireless collisions or something like that.

The next I would check is are your antennas the correct type ie RP-SMA male or female an example is located here:

with wrong antenna ie RP-SMA male when it needs SMA male will effectively mean you have no antenna connected (notice there is no small pin in center)

I can get wi-fi on that exact model with the firmware, so dd-wrt is fine, it has to be either hardware, settings (and I tried to emulate your settings) or environment
