I'm only familiar with atheros, but vlans shouldn't make a difference. It'd be a virtual interface, which you're already doing wirelessly. As to what is causing the issue, I'll think on it. Its midnight here, and if I tried posting a solution it'd likely be nonsense that just throws us both off. We can get it though.
What make and model is your router and what build are you on?
I appreciate all your help so far! I have a Netgear WNDR3700 v4 with DD-WRT build 25279 (the version with OpenVPN). BTW, I haven't done any configuring with OpenVPN. Sleep well!
More details: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (11/07/14) std - build 25279

If blocking internet access for the meter is enough, we could forget about the VAP and just give the meter a static IP.
iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.11.10 -j DROP
Something like this should allow LAN but drop WAN for a client with the IP of 192.168.11.10 (you can of course choose whatever address you want, just set the static IP accordingly).
Yah, that sounds like the way to go. Too bad we couldn't get the bridges to work. Just got the email today from the power company. They said due to high demand, they'll be shipping in 6-8 weeks lol _________________ Stephen

It has to be something with your router/build. The one I setup for a friend had no issues communicating between bridges. If that's the only build with openvpn though, then this is probably the best solution.
