Banana PI-R4 doesn't assign IP on Bridge-LAN

I am a beginner and I bought a Banana Pi Bpi-R4 to use as a router. 8 years ago I had a tplink router with openwrt and it was easy to use, it was just plug and play but now with the BPI-R4 I have not been able to configure it, the LAN ports do not assign me an IP, I have to assign the IP and mask to the PC manually. The WAN port does receive an IP from the ISP router.

Can someone help me?

Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:

Remove the "list dns ..." option from the LAN interface, it does not belong in there. Also, it looks strange that you are using both "eth_" and "lan_" names for the interfaces.

Now, connect to the router, maque sure that dnsmasq is running, watch the logs, and connect a device. Let's see what messages we get.

Start by installing proper Openwrt - https://openwrt.org/inbox/toh/sinovoip/bananapi_bpi-r4


It appears you are using firmware that is not from the official OpenWrt project.

When using forks/offshoots/vendor-specific builds that are "based on OpenWrt", there may be many differences compared to the official versions (hosted by OpenWrt.org). Some of these customizations may fundamentally change the way that OpenWrt works. You might need help from people with specific/specialized knowledge about the firmware you are using, so it is possible that advice you get here may not be useful.

You may find that the best options are:

  1. Install an official version of OpenWrt, if your device is supported (see https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org).
  2. Ask for help from the maintainer(s) or user community of the specific firmware that you are using.
  3. Provide the source code for the firmware so that users on this forum can understand how your firmware works (OpenWrt forum users are volunteers, so somebody might look at the code if they have time and are interested in your issue).

If you believe that this specific issue is common to generic/official OpenWrt and/or the maintainers of your build have indicated as such, please feel free to clarify.
