As it says:

This means it that your OpenWrt device cannot reach the internet.

How is this device connected to your network (lan port, wan port, wifi)?
Is it acting as a router, an AP or something else?

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:

It is an AP,connected by lan port

Chrischoy58:

config interface 'lan'
        option device 'br-lan'
        option proto 'static'
        option ipaddr '192.168.0.250'
        option netmask '255.255.255.0'
        option ip6assign '60'
        option gateway '192.168.0.1'

You need to add DNS. Likely your main router:

        list dns '192.168.0.1'

(or you can use a public DNS server, of course)

After adding this, reboot the AP and try again.

Chrischoy58 · April 19, 2024, 4:59am

How to add the dns?

psherman · April 19, 2024, 5:01am

You can use a text editor to add it to the network config file, or you can go do it via LuCI (Network > Interfaces > Edit (lan) > Advanced Settings > Use Custom DNS servers)

Thank You , I can update my opkg update list now
