Cannot connect ESP8266 MQTT devices #170

Description

@hagensieker

I have a Linksys WRT1900ACS with DD-WRT dated 3/30 which works perfectly and controls many IoT devices in my home.

I have a WRT3200ACM that I intended to deploy as my main router in the home. Using the latest Brain Slayer DD-WRT versions 31 May and 1 June. With this router, using the mwlwifi driver, and configuring the wifi identical to the previous router 10 of my devices, all of which use ESP8266 chips will not connect to the same network. I have tried turning off the SPI firewall, port forwarding to the MQTT server, changing the wifi name entirely and reconfiguring a device to that new name...........nothing allows these devices to connect.

Out of curiosity I took an Archer C7v2 and put latest DD-WRT on it and it will connect all my ESP8266 devices with no problem.

I posted about this issue on the DD-WRT forums and there is another person with similar problems on the forum using WRT3200ACM and Home Automation devices.

I suspect this is an issue with the mwlwifi driver possibly.

Thanks............John, New Bern, NC.
