Repeating attempt(failure) to give IP on multiple 2.4GHz devices

[Wayne Nocton]

This problem just started two days ago, if I go back to the October Merlin firmware and stay off VPN everything works, and usually I can stay connected to one VPN fine, but normally I have 2 VPN connections at all times and these messages keep repeating and these devices never go online. It's like they don't receive the offer but these devices range in location as close and about 7 feet away with the same error. All 5GHz devices seem to connect fine. So strange, I've been connect to 2 or 3 VPN's 24/7 for like 3 years now with 2 different routers and now suddenly there's a problem. It's an ASUS RT-AC3200.

These messages appear every couple of seconds and for as little as 1 or as many as 5 devices that I've seen.
