I had some issues connecting with a macbook and one of 2 nexus 4s. after a reboot of the router both MacBooks connected fine on the 5GHz radio but none of the nexi connected to either the 2.4GHz nor the 5GHz radio, instead they produced endless repetitions of:

Well, somehow dnsmasq ran out of leases, or was unable to derive an
ip address range from  the interface's
ifconfig. There are only a very few leases by default (28), and they
time out after a few hours,  so  a bunch  of  drive-by
dhcp requests  could have  run you out,  but I'd suspect a bug unless
you have/had a large number of leases in
/tmp/dhcp.leases.

I have been fiddling with things, and (for  example)  changing  wifi
parameters and  doing a reload sometimes
loses  the ip address  on one  or  more wifi interfaces. (you get a
different error from dnsmasq  in  that case)

So I figure we have multiple  race conditions right now causing
problems,  in  addition to  some  long  term
bugs in  wifi  handling.  Tighter integration of dnsmasq with the ubus
system  would  be good.  A better  grip
on how  to exercise  and  debug  ubus events would be good too.

Of possible relevance, this just landed  in openwrt  head:

https://dev.openwrt.org/changeset/40573

There are also some routing  bugs fixed  in 3.10.37

I have been running without setting a  multicast_rate now for  half  a
 day on 3.10.36-7
