Are you sure that the WLAN is configured correctly and no auto-channel or similar garbage is configured?

As mentioned earlier, you should try to fully configure your WLAN.

Ok, Very exited to know that you found potential issue! But I'm back in the game after a while and learning DDWRT over again. The auto-channel was disabled today, per your advise. What other "garbage" I may need to re-configure?
Thank you.

In case you don't understand my statements.
You should configure the WLAN completely and this includes selecting a WLAN channel and not selecting "auto".
Auto channel does not work reliably on many routers and often hangs during the "channel scan", which results in the radios not starting.

In addition, the automatic scan can also select channels that are not supported by your clients.
If your clients do not support all channels, they will not be able to find the WLAN.
