I have a problem with my ikuai ik x6 access points (3). I reset them. After resetting I found they had been flashed with openwrt firmware it has been my first encounter with openwrt.
> SSID : Openwrt open
But when I try to connect to web interface 192.168.1.1 I get no reply even, when I ping also 192.168.1.1 , I get no reply from the access point. However I don't know what the problem is? I need to change their Ssid and disable dhcp setting but I cannot access web interface. Their addresses are also auto configuration i.e
Autoconfiguration IPV4 Address: 169.254.173.96.
I therefore request for help to change the ssid of the access points and also disable dhcp setting on them and also be able to access web interface.
Thank you
Ok, wait a second and let’s stop right here.
How in some gods name did that happen by itself without you doing a lot of things before the router reseted with (by surprise) a OpenWrt firmware installed?
You need to tell the whole story here…
If we at least start by telling exactly what the name of the firmware file is that you have installed?
Unfortunately, I found the router had ever been used by someone else and it had an ssid called A1 with a password protection so when I saw that, I just reset it. That is when I found out it was running Openwrt on it. I am not the one who installed the openwrt firmware, I don't know about the firmware file that person installed (name)
Well 169.254… Pretty much mean your computer haven’t got any ip address from the router so you don’t have any working dhcp server to turn off to begin with.
The problem is that if the unknown person has installed a snapshot firmware you don’t have any luci installed to access anyway.
And if the firmware is buildt from source code it will maybe be impossible to install luci in a easy way.
So the only meaningful way forward now is to make a serial connection to it.
But we also have another problem. OpenWrt never boot with an active ssid or radio and we don’t have ikuai in table of hardware either as brand or model.
So that pretty much means that the firmware installed in your device isn’t supported by OpenWrt. There is someone else out there that has made the firmware for your device, probably the manufacturer.
But since this seems to be a Chinese standard business class access point you probably need to make a standard business class access point connection to it. You need a router with dhcp server in between your computer and the AP to give both devices a IP address and then access the AP web interface.
