DHCP not working on LAN

frank2023 · March 15, 2024, 3:15pm

Ok, so I've been working using static IP on my computer nic interface, and yesteday when I switch to DHCP I realize my OpenWRT router is not handing out IPs, here is my config, is from my default, but my computer nic is just not getting any IP...

Can I trouble you to repost the configs in the 'raw text' (rather than the UCI syntax)... I find it much more readable.

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:

ubus call system board
cat /etc/config/network
cat /etc/config/wireless
cat /etc/config/dhcp
cat /etc/config/firewall

I'm curious if there is a real lan2_wan port.

The lan IP address is in the range of the dhcp pool. Change LAN IP, pool size or whatever to avoid overlap...

This does not look like it is from the OpenWt project.

Where did the firmware come from?

thank you, that was it, I didn't think that would matter!
