There are a few other issues that might come up if you're trying to connect to the internet through the device. One is that 192.168.1.1 is a common ip (subnet?) for home routers. If you're connecting from your computer to your open-wrt router over 192.168.1.1 and the wifi router you're attempting to connect to is also on 192.168.1.1, there will be a (routing?) problem connecting to the internet. | |||
One easy fix is to edit your networking config file so that the open-wrt router is on a different subnet. | |||
vi /etc/config/network | |||
<pre> | |||
config interface lan | |||
option ifname eth0 | |||
option type bridge | |||
option proto static | |||
option ipaddr 192.168.2.1 | |||
option netmask 255.255.255.0 | |||
</pre> | |||
If you restart networking on the device after changing your lan ip address, you will be disconnected from your terminal session. Log back in using the new ip address. (You may have to manually update your ip address on your computer). | |||
There may also be a need to update your nameserver. | |||
vi /etc/resolv.conf | |||
<pre> | |||
search lan | |||
nameserver 192.168.1.1 | |||
</pre> | |||
Where 192.168.1.1 is the ip address of the wireless router you are attempting to connect to the internet over. | |||
After making the changes, restart networking. | |||
