Thanks for the basic config though. It'll save me quite a few steps later.

Do you have a smartphone with hotspot mode? That could be used to temporarily connect the router to the Internet.

Why do you think that connecting to the smartphone hotspot will be any easier than connecting to the wifi I'm trying to access in the first place?
Amusingly, ca-bundle seems to install without error but nginix-ssl_arm_cortex throws the same exact error. Does it make sense at this point to try each architecture until I find one that works?
ETA: NVM, I think I see the problem. The arm cortex isn't the right cpu either. I'll update this when I get it straightened out.
A smartphone hotspot uses the simpler preshared key encryption. Unlike WPA2-Enterprise, WPA2-PSK is supported by the packages built in. It doesn't need any extra packages to connect.

OK, let me think about it. The other problem is my data plan is garbage, but I may be able to use another data plan tomorrow.
My original comment was based on a misreading of the repo structure. According to rpi fora, this is the architecture in question;
There is a package repo for it;
However, version specified is 18.06, and I'm on 19.07. Would I need to downgrade?
cat /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf
This shows where the packages matching your installation are stored. opkg would download from these URLs, if it were online. To manually download, browse those directories.
Much like x86-64 can have an old version of Windows installed, the armv8 Pi 3B+ or 4 can run like an armv7, but the whole OS needs to be built for 32 bit then.

a-ha!
Luci should really print this somewhere close to the front, in really big letters, for dumb people like me
Yeah, the correct repos are listen in /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf file
