What is the output of this command when you run it on the router?
ping -c 4 downloads.openwrt.org
Also post the outputs of these commands
cat /tmp/resolv*
cat /etc/hosts

Copy the text from the Putty and Paste it here, don't post photos!!!

Hi this is what i got,

ping: bad address 'downloads.openwrt.org'

root@OpenWrt:~# cat /tmp/resolv*
search lan
nameserver 127.0.0.1



root@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost

::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

looks like you don't have a functional internet connection from the OpenWrt router.

Post the following info for more info:
/etc/config/network
/etc/config/firewall

and also describe how the device is connected to the rest of your network.

Since this is configured as a LAN only device (no WAN), you need to make sure you've specified the gateway and the DNS for your network -- most likely 192.168.1.1.
