Missing Luci and WAN config

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Device: Linksys WHW01 v1 (Velop)
Flashiing way: 192.168.1.1/fwupdate.html
Firmware: openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-linksys_whw01-squashfs-factory.bin
SNAPSHOT (r28921-ce68f61cb6)

Problem: missing luci and WAN config

2

You have installed a snapshot image. Read the link for instructions how to install Luci, which is not installed by default in snapshots.
https://openwrt.org/faq/can_not_connect_via_webbrowser

Install 24.10.0 and that should fix the issue, unless you have a reason to use snapshot

This is expected because your device only has a single Ethernet port. You can change it to be a wan port after you've setup WiFi.

EDIT: actually, maybe it has 2 ports? If so, wan should be setup by default, but first install the release build and then we can check the status.

Thanks, now accessing the Luci.

Yes, there are two ports. Could you tell me how should I do to create wan?

  • Remove preferred PHY from br-lan
  • Create an interface named WAN as DHCP Client
  • Add PHY
  • Add to WAN firewall zone (create)
  • In firewall, Allow forwarding from LAN to WAN zone
  • Set WAN zone as Input and Forwarding Reject - Output Accept

I believe that covers the basics.

(Additionally, you can create a WAN6 as DHCPv6 Client as well - added to the same firewall zone.)

Or simply reset ?

There is no WAN interface when I first flashed the openwrt firmware. I'm not sure if WAN will appear after reset?

8

It should.
If there's more than one ethernet port, one will be WAN, the other LAN.

9

Pardon, I don't understand, does it mean to delete the original LAN interface?

10

Move the wan port from br-lan to wan firewall zone.

11

Before I remove and add PHY, just add wan, it did not get IPv4

You had wan in both wan and br-lan ?

That's also a no go.

Now your wan is in the wrong firewall zone.

Did you do this?

Velop has two ports. By default, eth1 and eth2 are included in br-lan, so openwrt does not allocate the wan interface. Maybe what I have to do now is to adjust br-lan and specify a port?

16

That would be very non-standard, but I'm not going do dig into the PR to find out how the image is set up.
