a couple of days ago I started using LEDE on my first device.
I could use the device for a couple of hours with wifi and ethernet.
Then I changed something (maybe related to dhcp) in the devices settings and now I can not connect to it anymore. Not through WiFi and not through Ethernet. On both channels I only get the "Self-Assigned IP" message in the network settings.
I also tried to reset it through the hardware button and connecting via the failsafe mode. Both apparently don't work.
Any suggestions?
More Info:
Device: TP-Link RE450 (Repeater)
Lede 17.01.4 generic re450
Devices I tried to connect:
iMac via Ethernet and Wifi
Macbook via Wifi
iPhone via Wifi
Android Phone via Wifi
None of them are able to connect to the repeater.
Can you provide me with some solutions?
BTW: I am not able to provide you with logs because I can't connect to it
Yes, "router" is probably the same as "gateway"... it all depends on the preferences of whoever made the software.
And that is all the good news I have... if that did not work (and "host down" is definitively a bad thing), then you changed something else than the DHCP server, and things are going to be harder to fix.
Do you remember if perhaps you could have changed the IP address also? If we cannot guess the IP address for the router, or if the LAN interface is disabled, then your only options are failsafe mode or a TTL adapter.
