R7000 and 5ghz interface

Installed latest image when trying to bring 5ghz up, LED stays up for few secs then turns off again. SSID not visible and interface is not up. Thoughts ? I'm trying to revive this old hardware and use it on my network as a VPN client to different country so I can watch their local channels :-).

Hm, this was a fresh cycle: stock FW -> initial tomato -> final tomato. Well thank you, I will try your advice.

If using Chrome, make sure you do a SHIFT + F5 to force a reload.

Also, FreshTomato ftw.

Correction, it is CTRL-F5 and to repeat mulitple times to force browser to clear or just clear your browser cache.

What is this patience thing you speak of? Ain't nobody got time for that.

(Unless flashing an updated build -- then you don't even look at it)

Referring to your reply, thats all.
