Lan inaccessible

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

I don't know what I did, but after rebooting my router I find myself in this strange situation:

The router boots
it brings up wireless networks
My devices connected through wifi or cable get a lease from DHCP
it's impossible to ping the router IP or SSH it or access internet from the LAN
The WAN is up, I can ping it from another network, I can SSH into it. I have an IPv6 tunnel on this router and it works as well and is accessible from the internet.
I have a wireguard interface and I can access the LAN from the internet through wireguard. From there I can even connect to Luci.
Once connected through wireguard I can access everything in the router, use its resources as if I were on my LAN, the internet connection goes through it perfectly fine.

So it's really just the LAN that is inaccessible. Both wifi and cable.

What should I look at in order to diagnose what is wrong?
I have looked at the firewall and network interfaces and see no change from before this situation.

Thanks for any help

I sometimes have similar symptoms when bridges change composition, and end up with a different MAC-address than before. This causes the ARP-cache on client devices to contain invalid values, that then have to first "age out". This can take 3-10 minutes.

Since your message is older that that, i assume, you have a different problem. Just wanted to throw this datapoint about similar symptoms out there.

Use wireshark to tap in your network adapter and see what is going on between router and connected PC over Lan

I have looked at activity with wireshark but did not get a lot of insight beside what I already knew.

I went the lazy way and did a reset on my router, re-applied a backup from last week, re-installed the packages I needed and it works for the moment.

Thanks for the help.
