What advanced settings are you talking about? You should provide a router model to make it more related. As far as I know there are no advanced settings in the /etc/config/wireless but I can be wrong.

In my router the first couple of settings, before any wireless APs, look like these:

config wifi-device 'radio0'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option channel '9'
        option hwmode '11g'
        option path 'platform/ar934x_wmac'
        option disabled '0'
        option country 'US'
        option htmode 'HT40'

Make sure you are able to use the wifi connection. It is possible that the wireless driver did not load up with the firmware/ or did not get installed entirely. Provide the contents of the "cat /etc/config/wireless" here.

Sorry, it's my first openwrt router. I come from dd-wrt.
The router is anonymous but the vendor says MT7621, dual core 800Mhz, 512Mb ram.
I'm referring to the grafic interface Luci of chaos calmer, in the section about wifi there are two radio: 2.4 and 5.
For each radio there are two sections: Device configuration and Interface configuration
Under Interface configuration i have two panel: general setup and wireless security,
under device configuration i have only general setup, advanced settings and ht physical mode are missing.
I can connect only on 2.4 wifi, 5 is not working.
