No more actions needed. It is ALL GOOD NOW.

I re-flash this unit with 18.06.4 version, which has the webGUI. I was ABLE to upload the sysupgrade.tar , and this router is functioning correctly.

Thank you for all your help.

Here is the recap,

https://github.com/riptidewave93/LEDE-MX60-MX60W/blob/master/README.md#flashing This post is very helpful, I followed most of the steps here. Remember to type the full command...-.- DO not change anything. Just copy and paste to the terminal, you will be fine. I was changing the console value..

HIT ENTER to see the textroot@OpenWrt:/#

Snapshot version does not have the WebGUI, use

opkg update
opkg install luci

To install luci, get to 192.168.1.1, then flash (backup and flash firmware)with sysupgrade.tar file. If you are doing this for the first time, you should be fine. If you running into the same issues as me (power outage during flashing process), just flash with another version, you will be able to continue your steps.

with version 18.06.4 and the snapshot, DO NOT change the network (/etc/config/networking) file. when you see

BusyBox v1.28.4 () built-in shell (ash)

You would need to unplug from WAN port then plug into the LAN1, your communication to the router should be good to go. Then you may flash sysupgrade.tar file--> job done.

I am new to the community, Thanks again for all your assistance!
