Hi @callen8 Welcome to OpenWrt

It's hard to diagnose what's going on without more detailed information. Here's a short list of questions to get started.

  • What brand/model of router are you using, and what OpenWrt firmware are you using? (You already said BT Home Hub, and 18.06.01 - I just include this question for completeness...)

  • What kind of equipment is plugged into the WAN port of the router? (DSL? Cable modem?)

  • What company is your Internet Service Provider (ISP)?

  • How is your laptop/desktop computer connected to the router? (Wi-Fi? Ethernet?)

  • Go to the OpenWrt web interface (called "LuCI") of the router, navigate to the Network -> Diagnostics page and do these tests (or execute the equivalent tests from the command line):

    • What are the results from a ping test for 192.168.1.1? (Please copy/paste the results.)

    • What are the results for the ping test for google.com?

    • What are the results for the traceroute for google.com?

Thanks!

Everything you need can be found over here:

And specifically, have a thorough read of the LEDE/OpenWRT Installation Guide for BT Home Hub 5A:

All the instructions you need are in there.
