i have connection to the internet via the wifi from the device, however i cant access LUCI as i have no web GUI and cant download the opkg update files as it continuously says request not permitted.
im positive its a easy fix however crawling the posts already made havent helped, looking for some help!
So I have no control over the network as its a hotel but I've been connecting my computer to the ethernet from the hotel and doing a ipconfig to check the network settings, then using the info for the gateway which I've switched to 172.219.161.1 but I was wondering what the DNS address should be? Is it just the DNS and gateway that are wrong? The 172.219.161.244 is the address from the hotel it assigned my laptop and I used that after switching the ethernet.
This device has only one ethernet port. Therefore if you want to connect to the ethernet port of a hotel and share it wirelessly, you need to follow a few steps.
First reset the device to defaults.
Enable the wireless and configure it to your liking, wpa2 encryption, key.
Connect from wireless to the router. Then from the lan interface turn off bridge and remove eth0.
Create a new 'wan' interface with dhcp protocol, assign it to eth0 interface and assign it to wan firewall zone.
