hi, i need help with installing barrier breaker to my range extender. All was going smoothly up until i did "opkg update" it's saying bad address: archive.openwrt.org , does this mean i cant use files from archive? your help will be greatly appreciated, thank you very much.
Bad address: archive.openwrt.org
That's DNS-server response for a nonexistent domain name.
However it's working for me, so try to change your DNS-servers.
thank you for the quick response my good sir and forgive me by asking, since i am actually new to tweaking softwares and i just badly needs it for my range extender, how can i change my DNS-servers? im using mac OS. cheers and thank you again.
i'm sorry, what i mean is what DNS am i going to use" is there an specific one?
@vgaetera sir, thank you so much, il do that and i'll inform you re: result. have a good one.
