Any help with opkg update (Failed to establish connection)

mustafan · January 28, 2018, 8:41pm

i test it thers no ping on google dns 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4

First error is right here:

You have defined the subnet (netmask) so that router's own IP address and the gateway address are not in the same subnet. This breaks routing.

Your netmask 255.255.255.0 defines that only the last number of the IP address varies inside the subnet. So, the router 10.0.132.100 thinks that only 10.0.132.(0-254) are in the same net. It has no idea how to reach 10.0.0.1 that you have defines as gateway.

Either

change the subnet netmask to 255.255.0.0 or
adjust the router's IP address to be inside the same subnet as the gateway. If gateway is 10.0.0.1 and netmask is 255.255.255.0, the router's IP address can be 10.0.0.(1-254, well not actually 1 as gateway has that, so 2-254)

EDIT:
based on that gateway 10.0.0.1 gateway address, I suspect that you have more complex net environment than just a LEDE router. An additional router? A smart modem? It could well be that you need a bit more complex config, if you need to avoid double NAT or double DHCP etc.

So, what are you actually trying to accomplish? Add a LEDE router to an existing net?

In a /16 network, the netmask is 255.255.0.0 as already mentioned.

See this LEDE thread...

eleven · February 1, 2018, 2:46am

jwoods thanks for that....i tried adding below to no avail. i am going to change dns servers to see if that works

config interface wan
    option ipv6 0

eleven · February 1, 2018, 3:01am

nothing works that I tried...i still cannot get opkg update to work

worked fine until i upgraded to 17.01.4

lleachii · February 1, 2018, 10:40am

Of course it's still not working... You still haven't configured a Gateway.

Maybe I missed this...but did you confirm your Internet was on LAN or WAN?

tikileaks · April 5, 2020, 6:14pm

I have the same problem;

when I try to download updates in Luci interface there is a warning that:

The opkg install command failed with code 255 .

how can I sure the correct interface

IP
DNS
Gateway
?

Is this the primary router? Secondary? Dumb ap?

tikileaks · April 5, 2020, 7:08pm

secondary
it connected with ethernet cable

tikileaks · April 5, 2020, 7:11pm

aqtually this is third. Main router is docsis 3.0 wired modem. It connect an access point with ethernet. That openwrt modem also connectted that modem with ethernet cable

psherman · April 5, 2020, 7:14pm

Can you draw a diagram. Are you using lan-lan connection of lan-wan?

tikileaks · April 5, 2020, 7:17pm

DOCSIS 3 -- Lan -- TPLİNK - Lan - OpenWRT

psherman · April 5, 2020, 7:19pm

The issue is that you don’t have a gateway and dns defined in the lan interface

tikileaks · April 5, 2020, 7:19pm

I write gateway main docsis 3.0 (192.168.0.1) there is no change.

tikileaks · April 5, 2020, 7:20pm

how should I define correct dns

psherman · April 5, 2020, 7:22pm

Netmask should probably be 255.255.255.0

Is 192.168.0.1 your main router?
Do you have the name server defined?
