You are posting in the wrong forum and using an old and obsolete build.
Please read the forum guidelines with helpful pointers about where and how to post, how to research your router, where you can find builds and where not and many more helpful tips:

1 -- I was confused on finding the correct forum. I searched for a forum about my router and didn't find anything. So I need to look at the CPU Model and post in the forum for that Brand? (In my case Marvell Armada 385)
2 -- Why is the router database not the place to find builds?
3 -- Why are all build classified as beta? I'd rather have one that has moved beyond beta.

2 -- Why is the router database not the place to find builds?
Because it is not updated until an agreed upon across-the-board stable build has been decided, it has never been up-to-date and now we are seeing issues with 44715, the newest build shown on the router database. Also, there have been several devices whose support in DD-WRT has been added since the last router database update.

Correct. Look at the recent new-build threads in the Marvell (in the case of the WRT3200ACM) forum to pick the best beta. It's always a judgement call.
No one says its a great system. But it is what it is. _________________ 2x Netgear XR500 and 3x Linksys WRT1900ACSv2 on 53544: VLANs, VAPs, NAS, station mode, OpenVPN client (AirVPN), wireguard server (AirVPN port forward) and clients (AzireVPN, AirVPN, private), 3 DNSCrypt providers via VPN.
ATH1 and ATH2 are setup exactly the same except for SSID and the channels.
I've tried different channels on ATH1 and even Auto Channel.
The only way I've been able to get a WiFi device to successfully connect is to turn the Security Off.
I have a Samsung Galax S5 that will connect to ATH2 but not ATH1.
I get the following error:
"Failed to obtain IP address"
Current builds have wlan0, wlan1, and wlan2 instead of ath0, ath1, and ath2, so what build did you flash? You may still be on something old.
Also, disable ath2 (or wlan2). It's not a real, usable wifi interface and doesn't even connect to an external antenna. Apparently it's for sensing certain radar signals for regulatory reasons. In any case, many WRT3200ACM owners before you have found that it causes all sorts of problems if enabled. _________________ 2x Netgear XR500 and 3x Linksys WRT1900ACSv2 on 53544: VLANs, VAPs, NAS, station mode, OpenVPN client (AirVPN), wireguard server (AirVPN port forward) and clients (AzireVPN, AirVPN, private), 3 DNSCrypt providers via VPN.
These settings have been working well for me on my 3200ACM. If you can disable wlan2/ath2 as a test, that would eliminate a variable. Your wifi security settings look fine.
