That wasn't a good idea. Normally, when using a address like 192.168.x.x (in your case 192.168.0.0) the very last number describes the whole network, not a single device. The same is true for .255 as the last part, for this is the broadcast address. So the range should be from .1 up to .254.
For troubleshooting, i'd recommend to go step by step by this list:
Reset your OpenWrt-Router to defaults, so it's LAN address becomes 192.168.1.1 again.
Do not connect your phone with the PC at this moment.
Then set your PC's network to DHCP, so it will get a valid address from the router.
Now you should be able to connect the router from the PC via 192.618.1.1.
Then you can enable wifi on the router and should be able to connect it via the phone.
If i may ask one question: For me it seems, your knowledge of networking is very...basic. So why did you decide to use OpenWrt, which is (in my opinion) a bit more difficult to set up than the average 'end user router' firmware?
And what about the phone? I connect it when the router is dead and does not give the PC wired internet.
Not sure what to set up? After resetting the settings, I can ALREADY connect to the router.
Again did not understand. And how should I configure the router if I could not connect to it through the browser?
I have Internet on my phone and without a router.
My knowledge was quite enough to configure and flash the standard firmware of the router. Only you can’t install VPN on standard firmware in order to return access to YouTube to the TV.
That would be the next step. At first, you have to make sure that the router and the PC are working together.
OK, that's fine. One problem solved.
You wrote, you can connect to the router. So you should be able the access the GUI via the web browser.
When you have a wired connection between your router and the PC, take a look at the Windows networking settings on your PC. The gateway- and the DNS-server addresses should be 192.168.1.1 and your PC should have an address like 192.168.1.something.
If not, post the settings here.
Now you should be able to connect to the router via http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/.
If not, try a ping on that address.
If that also fails, we'll have to look further.
And how does this image differ from what I was stitching?
Before looking further, try to get to the bottom of the problem.
I flashed the router through a tftp server
The router page opened at http://192.168.1.1:65500 and everything worked. I turned on Wi-Fi, changed the name of the Wi-Fi network, changed the password for the router.
I tried to bind the MAC address of my PC and smartphone on the router to a fake IP, as I did on the old firmware.
After applying the settings and restarting the router, the Internet disappeared and I could no longer access the router page. The IP of the router was 192.168.1.1. I tried to issue 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.11 to the PC and smartphone. I didn't change anything else
I disconnected the Internet cable from the router, restarted it many times trying to reset the settings
After the reset, it began to open at 192.168.1.1
I again tried to bind the MAC address to the IP, but only for a smartphone, I did not touch the PC settings. And after restarting the router, the error recurred.
I left the settings again and changed the router address to 192.168.0.0, after which I again tried to bind the MAC address of the PC and smartphone to the IP 192.168.0.10 and 192.168.1.11. And the error happened again
I reset the settings. Then I went to the router page and reset the settings again, after which I flashed it with sysupgrade firmware and reset the settings again during the firmware.
After these steps, so far no such problem has been observed. I was finally able to bind the MAC addresses of the PC and smartphone to the IP and after restarting I can still access the router page. I have no idea what the problem was.
I would have written about this yesterday if the form had allowed me to write messages.
Keep in mind that @elder_tinkerer is asking legit questions to understand your needs/goals. Also, a fake IP address binding will only cause you problems, and think that was the question that @elder_tinkerer was aiming to have answered. A proper address in your network can be useful and can be a very good use of the DHCP reservation process.
But, it is also worth noting that unless you have more devices than your DHCP pool size, most devices will actually be assigned a pseudo-random IP (within the pool range) that is based on the MAC address of the client. The clients will ask for renewal of the same IP lease when roaming or when the lease is set to expire (up to 3 times: at 50% lease time, 85% lease time, or when the lease expires). And, because of the DHCP server issues an IP based on hashing the MAC, the device will almost always have the same IP even if it is off the network for a considerable amount of time. The only reasons this would not happen would be if you don't have a large enough DHCP pool and the address needs to be given to another client, or if the client randomizes the MAC address (which can be turned off for specific networks).
Also important to know is that the fixed IP address is not really all that necessary except for servers or network infrastructure that need to be accessed by other hosts on the network at a known IP.
The thread is long and I'm having trouble finding the specific post where you describe which image you downloaded. But just to be certain, make sure it is this one..
A fixed IP is needed to open ports and create servers in games. If I didn't need it, I wouldn't do it.
Or do you want to say that openwrt works so crookedly that it should be used only in its pure form and in no case should the settings be changed? How is it better then the official firmware of the router?
And that's just because stupid people without reading the topic write their stupid advice and there is even more misunderstanding.
I downloaded the firmware from here
Well, you wrote 'fake address', not 'fix address'.
How should i know that you meant something different than you wrote?
But yes, to make sure that your devices will always get the same IP address is a valid reason.
On the other hand, you could set a static IP on the PC / mobile phone itself.
But you know that, don't you?
And another little hint: I doesn't do you any good, if you start being impolite to people who are willing to help you. They might decide to ignore future questions.
The reason for the many questions from other people is, we don't have crystal balls to read the truth and often the problems are different than the the way they're described.
This depends on the version of your mobile's OS.
On Android (9-12, at least):
Go to the settings of your wifi network, choose edit, then enhanced options. Under IP-Settings you can switch from DHCP to static. After the change you can enter the IP address, prefix, gateway and DNS.
Any other smartphone OS (like Windows Mobile or iOS): I don't know.
