Hi all,
Decided to switch to OpenWrt as the Teltonika firmware is buggy as hell.
Followed these instructions:
Used the URL for the factory image from here:

Terminal downloaded the image and proceeded with the install (bypassing the checksum checks).
But now the router doesn't seem to be doing anything. I have connected ethernet and 192.168.1.1 is not addressable. I am not being assigned an IP.
What should my next steps be?!
Any help gratefully received!
Cheers,
Nathan
