Can't save my configuration on my LAP120

Hello,

I have a problem with my lap 120 router when i flashed on openwrt 23.5.0 r23497-6637af95aa. Every time I reboot it, it never saves my settings. And I can't flash the firmware and I can't even go back to the previous firmware. Is it a read only problem?

what is the output of the following:

ubus call system board
df -h
mount
    "kernel": "5.15.134",
    "hostname": "OpenWrt",
    "system": "Atheros AR9342 rev 3",

}

Your overlay is completely full. Did you install or upgrade any packages?

I can't install and delete anything or revert to stock firmware

I'm asking if you had done that in the past.

Try this:

mount -o remount,rw /
firstboot -y && reboot

root@OpenWrt:~# mount -o remount,rw /
root@OpenWrt:~# firstboot -y && reboot
/dev/mtdblock5 is mounted as /overlay, only erasing files

after i see this:

root@OpenWrt:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 4.0M 4.0M 0 100% /rom
tmpfs 27.9M 80.0K 27.8M 0% /tmp

overlayfs:/tmp/root 27.9M 68.0K 27.8M 0% /
tmpfs 512.0K 0 512.0K 0% /dev

try booting into failsafe mode and then issuing the firstboot command again.

When I put the router in failsafe boot mode, I cannot access SSH. Can u help me pls? Thanks.

did you set your computer to a static IP? Did you get any specific errors?

Yes i set to 192.168.1.2 static ip with 255.255.255.0 ip mask sub

this should be 255.255.255.0

Yes is it sry :smiley:

what happens if you ping 192.168.1.1?

it looks like you're pinging 192.168.1.2. Am I misreading that?

Because i set the router to static ip.

That is not your router... that is your computer.

Your router should have an address of 192.168.1.1.
Does that return pings?


That it sry :slight_smile:

ok... now try ssh to 192.168.1.1 (earlier it looks like you were using .2)
