config dhcp 'lan'
option interface 'lan'
option start '100'
option limit '150'
option leasetime '12h'
option ignore '1'
Delete the "option ignore'1'" from the dhcp lan section

I don't have that in my config

---------------------
config interface 'lan'
option type 'bridge'
option proto 'static'
option netmask '255.255.255.0'
option ifname 'eth0 eth1'
option ipaddr '192.168.1.250'
option gateway '192.168.1.1'
option dns '192.168.1.1'
Change the line to: option ifname 'eth0 eth1 br-wan'

-----------------

The 2 changes above are the only 2 differences I see in the configs

Make those 2 changes via command line vi and then reboot

Then see if DHCP works.

Also read this thread: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=39077&p=2

It could be something with your main AP - what type of router
is your main Access Point?

For my setup the main AP = Asus RT-N16

Made the changes. Still no luck. No DHCP on lan clients over bridge. Main router is a VDSL ZTE ZXDSL 931 VII with Broadcom 6368 chipset.

You can try OpenWRT Attitude Adjustment 12.09 and see if you can
get that to work, but I suspect it may not.

Not enough info to say it's Gargoyle because I have it working on
my setup.

You would need to test off another access point to verify.

It could be a limitation on your main DSL modem/router.
