Comfast cf-e5 not accessible from stock to OpenWrt

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello All, thanks for reading the issue and coming forward to help me.

I have flashed Comfast CF-E5 with Openwrt 21.02.0, took around 5 minutes for flashing.

Device is not accessible either thru LAN, https, or tftp. I have tried multiple times pressing rest button.

Device is not accessible from below links:

http://192.168.1.1
http://192.168.10.1

ssh root@192.168.1.1 or ssh root@192.168.10.1

Please help me in getting device accessible.

Thanks
Suresh

Is your client connected to the Comfast only/directly using an ethernet cable?

Was it a new installation, or an upgrade?

if i remember correct the lan port is switched after you flash openwrt, so try use the wan port as lan

Bullseye!! It worked. I am able to access thru ssh and http. Thank you very much for the quick quick response.

Also, 4G / LTE is not enabled as it EC-25 chip so internet is not available. Please help me in enabling this.

Thanks in advance!!

share internet from your cell phone using wifi, attach to the hot spot from the CF-E5, set the connection to WAN.

Install all required packages.
