THIS IS IT!!!!
I manually run the command `ethtool -K wlan2 tx-checksumming off` on both MX4300 and the DHCP works.
I'm running `DD-WRT v3.0-r58568 std (10/15/24)` on both devices.
This next release looks very promising to me.
I can confirm the command `ethtool -K wlan0 tx-checksumming off`allows the Node (MX4300) to get an IP address through the Primary (MX4300) DHCP server.
Awesomeness!! Glad that one more issue can finally be put to bed.
Also, somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but turning off tx-checksumming is only turning it off on the wlan driver itself. Checksumming is still being done elsewhere so should not present any issues. Besides, rx-checksumming is off by default and "fixed", which means it cannot be changed in the driver with ethtool. _________________ - Linksys EA8500: I-Gateway, WAP/VAP 5ghz only.

After turning it off for wlan0 I checked wlan1 and wlan2. Both were still turned on. _________________ Linksys MX4300: Primary & Node

Correct, because you manually typed the command for a single wlanN. The svn commit will turn it off on all active interfaces automatically on boot. Once the new build is released, you can sh*t-can the manual ethtool command and it should just work out of the box.
EDIT: The above statement is incorrect. It only turns off tx-checksumming on the active 802.11s interface(s). It leaves it turned on for non-802.11s interfaces. _________________ - Linksys EA8500: I-Gateway, WAP/VAP 5ghz only. Features: VLANs, Samba, WG, Entware - r60xxx

I look forward to this and a couple other fixes being implemented in the next update. Until then, my system is working with static addresses for computers attached to my satellites (LAN). Wireless seems to get addresses from the primary just fine. _________________ Linksys MX4300 802.11s Primary

look like the new firmware r58627 released on 11/02/24 resolved this issue, hopefully this version will be more stable as I have been rebooting my router twice a day

Why is your router needing to be rebooted twice per day? One of my mx4300s has been up slightly over 5 days so far and I don't want to update it until it needs to be rebooted.
Oddly enough, this is my only mx4300 which holds it's power settings too. 24dBm on wlan1 and 28dBm on wlan2.
NOTE: This router is NOT a member of my mesh.
