I tried checking if there is a DHCP and it returned an IP
But running opkg update it failed to connect to download anything - I can't connect to the internet
do you any other internet connection? you must plug another internet to the wan port of the router.
also check if your other internet is giving proper dns servers.
1.
try ping 8.8.8.8 on the terminal where you run opkg update
if ping fails then you dont have internet in the unit itself
2.
if ping ip works, then you have internet, then try ping google.com
if that fails then you need to set dns servers from the command line.
uci set network.wan.peerdns='0'
uci del network.wan.dns
`uci add_list network.wan.dns='1.1.1.1'
uci add_list network.wan.dns='8.8.8.8'
uci commit
service network reload
and try again
Can you possibly try that again later like maybe after 6-8 hours.
It seems that the snapshots packages arent uploaded completely yet since you have internet and you are using the very very latest snapshots.
otherwise you can try if there's luci in the packages list that were obtained by opkg.
I can now opkg update and install luci. This is now the interface
My next question is, how can I install modules for the sim (preferably 5G), I read here that you need to install luci-proto-3g. I installed it, but I can't install some of the modules because this version is a Snapshot, and it gives kernel errors for some modules
the modem actually uses qmi / EEM / MBIM just like other quectel modems.
You may use:
luci-proto-qmi
luci-proto-mbim
depending on what mode your modem is set.
luci-proto-modemmanager works with both qmi and mbim mode.
Please look at https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wan/wwan/ltedongle
most modems are set to qmi out of the box.
You may also find 4iceG's stuff at github useful for interacting with the modem
If you're finding it difficult to use openwrt's opkg update and install to have these packages, have them built with your snapshot image at the firmware selector
https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=SNAPSHOT&target=qualcommax%2Fipq807x&id=arcadyan_aw1000
and add luci-proto-qmi luci-proto-mbim luci-proto-modemmanager at the end of the list of packages, request a build and then wait for it to finish, then sysupgrade it again via luci or terminal.
I added those packages at the end and I sysupgrade it via luci, I waited for 30 minutes and now the only light is the power. I tried connecting to an ethernet port and running ssh, I can't connect to it
