Connected to the router, but no Internet connection

[n4dzq]

I have an ISP-supplied modem and router. These are working fine (but the router is on proprietary software, and is locked down, so no OpenWRT on that for me)

I have a GL.iNet MT6000 (Flint 2) router, which I have connected to the working router via an Ethernet cable
I set the LAN address to 192.168.2.1 (to distinguish it from the ISP-supplied router), set a router password, and set the Theme to BootstrapDark. I reboot the router, and I log back in via 192.168.2.1
I then set the 5Gz WiFi to my country code, set the encryption to WPA2-PSK, set a WiFi key, and enable it

I wait five minutes, and while I can connect to the OpenWRT wireless network, I cannot connect to the Internet
When I go to Network -> Diagnostics, IPv4 Ping gives me "bad address" for openwrt.org
I have plugged the Ethernet cables that I have been using into a laptop and the working router, and my laptop can ping and access websites without issue
I infer that my router is not able to connect to the Internet

I managed to get this router to connect to the Internet with OpenWRT yesterday, but I ended up rebooting it
What logs and other things do I need to supply for support please?

what IP do you get on the MT6000's wan interface ?

[n4dzq]

ifconfig does not yield a WAN IP address

uci set network.wan.ipaddr="100.64.0.3" and service network restart did not yield any improvement

@n4dzq

ifconfig does not yield a WAN IP address

on which interface ?

@n4dzq

uci set network.wan.ipaddr="100.64.0.3"

is 100.64.0 the LAN subnet of your upstream modem ?

How is the WAN interface configured?

[n4dzq]

on which interface ?

Um...all of them?

is 100.64.0 the LAN subnet of your upstream modem ?

How do I figure that out please?

How is the WAN interface configured?

[mk24]

There is no Ethernet carrier on eth1. Check that the modem is powered up, the cable is good and plugged into the correct wan port, which I think is the one all the way to the left as you look at the back of the MT6000.

ifconfig has been deprecated for many years, use ip link, ip addr etc instead. Also OpenWrt has a high level command to check the status of an interface, ifstatus wan which is used to generate the report on the front web page.

[n4dzq]

Yup, cables in the wrong ports

My mistake. Thank you all
