Hi,
I'm new to Openwrt and I'm having trouble loading into the openwrt web ui. Is there anyone that can help with this? Very much appreciated.
Here is my network config:
Luci is not installed by default on some builds install with
opkg update
opkg install luci
I have tried to update the packages. It doesn't work.
It says that Luci is installed.
I can't ping the Openwrt device.
Both devices are on the same network.
Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:
Remember to redact passwords, MAC addresses and any public IP addresses you may have:
ubus call system board
cat /etc/config/network
cat /etc/config/dhcp
cat /etc/config/firewall
cat /etc/config/uhttpd
netstat -ltn
Could very well be that the ports that OpenWrt marked eth0 and eth1 are not actually eth0 and eth1 as marked on the case and/or the eth1 is not a wan port (as marked on the devices).
If you have serial console access, I'd confirm/disprove that by connecting the ethernet cables into different ports and watching for the log messages.

Your config looks fine and the web server is up and running on both 80 and 443, listening on all interfaces (but firewalled so it cannot be accessed from the wan)
- What browser are you using?
- Have you tried clearing the browser cache?
- Have you tried a different browser entirely?
- Do you have any VPNs or corporate extensions active on your computer?
- Have you tried a different computer or mobile device?
I'm using Microsoft Edge.
I tried clearing browser cache. Didn't work.
I've tried Google Chrome. Didn't work.
Both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome said "took too long to respond."
I even did a ping test from command prompt and returned 4 Request timed outs.
I had a VPN on, but turned it off. Still doesn't work.
I tried a ping test from command prompt from another computer and returned 4 Request timed outs.
Do you have any other devices on your network that are using 192.168.1.1? and/or do you have multiple interfaces on your computer (2 or more Ethernet in use or ethernet + wifi)?
You should be directly connected to your FW6E via ethernet and wifi should be disabled on your computer.
I have a TP link router that is using 192.168.1.1.
Only one ethernet interface on my desktop that is connected and wifi on my desktop is turned off.
There may be a conflict.
How are things connected?
My TP Link Router is connected to the internet as Primary.
The Protectcli box which has Openwrt is directly connected to my TP Link router.
My desktop is directly connected to TP Link router.
As I said earlier...
direct connection from computer to FW6E via ethernet. No other connections at all.

That will not work, because the OpenWrt default firewall does not allow login from the wan side, which is where your existing network.
Also the IP address conflicts so you need to fix that as well.
Disconnect the Protectli from the existing network and connect it only to your PC with an Ethernet cable. Also be sure the wifi in the PC is off. Try all 6 ports if necessary to find the one which issues an IP address (192.168.1.X) to your PC, that one is the lan port.
Once logged in, change the lan IP to an IP outside 192.168.1.0/24, such as 192.168.2.1. Unplug and reconnect your PC so it gets a new address, and log in to the new IP. Then connect the wan port of the Protectli back to your house network.

Got it. Will try now.
Also, LuCI makes it complicated to change the LAN IP. If you have serial or ssh it is much easier to edit the /etc/config/network file on the CLI.
I do have a connection via serial port.
I changed the IP address on the br-lan portion of the /etc/config/network file and restarted the network service and it worked!! Thank you for all your help.
