Thanks! But i can also download those later on correct? Also, the forst link i linked that was for the motherboard. Are those settings also for ZBT routers? It does work now. I just had issues with openvpn earlier, but that could also work if i try later on. No big deal.. The settings i have now are maybe not optimal though with virtual dhcp and such, what do you experts think?
Everything is generic, except for the actual images, which are device specific.

Correct, but adding packages rathar than including them into the image will take more flash space. Depending on your device's flash chip size, that could be a big consideration. I was also being mindful that you noted you had to install the packages thru separate downloads.
The information you've described regarding this has been unclear to me. I'm actually not sure what settings you're inquiring could be sub optimal because of "virtual DHCP" or the configuration you mention differs on the older Barrier Breaker firmware.
I had ideas as to why this may have occurred for you - but they all can be solved with updated software.
Best wishes on your progress.
Ok, but can you be more specific on how i create a fully working version that's tested maybe also.. That has openvpn, etc.. The right packages..
What package are needed then? And do i use the squashfs version, etc.. Thanks
Ok thanks. I might try to install openvpn again.. I don't think the "barrier breaker" firmware had any qmi or a virtual dhcp setting, but i'm not sure.
all / no images are tested, depending on your definition on tested.
perhaps you should skip openvpn for now, and focus on the modem ?
start with the qmi ones, mentioned earlier.
this option doesn't exist for your specific device.
ok thanks. Are these default for the router or overall then?

echo "All done!"
And it did build, but with some signature error.. Does it still look ok? I used these packages:
qmi-utils luci-proto-qmi luci luci-ssl
But also the default ones:
base-files busybox ca-bundle dnsmasq dropbear firewall4 fstools kmod-gpio-button-hotplug kmod-leds-gpio kmod-mt76x2 kmod-nft-offload kmod-rt2800-soc kmod-sdhci-mt7620 kmod-usb-ohci kmod-usb2 libc libgcc libustream-wolfssl logd mtd netifd nftables odhcp6c odhcpd-ipv6only opkg ppp ppp-mod-pppoe procd procd-seccomp procd-ujail swconfig uci uclient-fetch urandom-seed urngd wpad-basic-wolfssl
Anyways i might keep the one version i have now if it's an ok setup..
But how do i connect DHCP to other routers, or to the computer, etc? Is that done automatically, or do people need to set adresses manually?
Please use the "Preformatted text </>" button for logs, scripts, configs and general console output.
Please edit your post accordingly. Thank you! 
Yeah that's way better. thanks

Now I can also spot that your script does nothing, because you did not uncomment any of the variables. I suggest that you do not use such a script at all, it's easy to configure your device after boot.
Ok i will leave it blank then! Thanks.
I just tried to build and I do not get any signature errors. I selected the Zbtlink ZBT-WE826 16M as device as I do not know (or remember) which device you had exactly. And used 22.03.5 as version, this is the package selection:

luci should be included by default, so I did not add it to the list of packages.

Yes i think you did... expand the STDERR. After build sucessful.
You got this:

Why was the signature wrong? Is the site hacked or something?
