@jtbr Happy you got it working... The reason I suggested the MAC addresses was the combination of your initial comment about them not matching and then seeing the logs where it would authenticate and then immediately disconnect. I was setting up an ad-hoc connection one time and those were the symptoms and the reason. As to why it is happening in this case is very odd to me and it could be a bug in DD-WRT but this is beyond my level of knowledge in DD-WRT's inner workings.
@AndyOxon, I suggest you open a different thread/topic and post your symptoms and we may be able to help.

Thanks @Wildlion. I haven’t got the time today, but I will take the dd-wrt to the bench in the next couple of days. There, I will hook up on a serial connection, erase nvram, re-flash latest FW, erase nvram again, set basic networking (IP, Gateway, DNS) and 2G WiFi only, and see what happens. I very much doubt after that a new thread will be of use to anyone. But I do have incremental builds in my temp folder going back to r48494. So then, I will try @ r48494 and move forward, erasing nvram along the way in the hope that I can provide something useful in the ‘new builds’ thread. _________________ Hardware (Device/Firmware/Roles):

I found the point at which my problems start.
After testing, and a number of resets, I have found that when I reclaim the WAN port, I lose 2G Wifi connections, permanently. I am unable to regain 2G WiFi by tracing back & undoing changes. However, settings restore (from the same build) works, and the router performs as expected.
