Luci Bad Gateway after updating packages

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello !
I updated the packages from SYSTEM-SOFTWARE and after that i get very often the following error when I try to connect to the router's web interface :
"bad gateway
the process did not produce any response"
The wireless adapters are disabled and I can't make WIFI to work.

I still can connect to my router using SSH.
I have a Linksys WRT3200ACM router with OpenWrt 21.02.1.

Can you tell me what to do ?

Thank You !

  • Reset it from the command line - firstboot && reboot
  • Do not upgrade those packages, one of them is causing a soft brick

There's some good threads regarding upgrading packages and some issues people do/don't experience, so I won't get into the issues in depth here.

If you wish to upgrade, you can install snaphsot then immediately install all desired packages - repeat this as often as you wish to update.

This tells you why it happened, why you shouldn't "upgrade" packages, and what to do...
