Hello,
I am unable to access the internet after I updated to the lates firmware version on my router and when I try to acces 192.168.1.1 in the browser. When I ssh into the router and try to run opkg update it says "failed to download package list" and when I try to install LuCi it says "Cannot install package luci".
I am a newbie and I don't know what else to provide. Thanks in advance!
Was it working previously? What version were you using and what did you update to? Did you keep settings across the upgrade?
Is this your primary router or are you using it as a dumb AP or some other configuration?
Please copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:
Remember to redact passwords, MAC addresses and any public IP addresses you may have:
ubus call system board
cat /etc/config/network
cat /etc/config/wireless
cat /etc/config/dhcp
cat /etc/config/firewall
The GUI was working previously. I downloaded the firmware from here. As far as I remember I kept the setting during the update but I might be wrong. Luckily this isn't my main router and I use it as access point.

You have installed a snapshot image. Read the link for instructions how to install Luci, which is not installed by default in snapshots.
You may find it best to use the 21.02.1 stable release instead of a snapshot. For many users, the stable releases are best (when available), unless there is a major bug or other feature that is required.
https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=21.02.1&target=ramips%2Fmt76x8&id=xiaomi_mi-router-4a-100m
As I said I am unable to do that.
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package luci.
What error(s) are you getting along the way?
Just this. Nothing else
There is typically a reason that it will not install.
please post everything you see after issuing this command:
opkg update; opkg install luci
Is there a reason you want to use snapshot? I'd recommend installing the stable release instead. Luci is preinstalled on the stable release builds.
Download the sysupgrade image to your computer, then copy it to your router using scp (copy it to /tmp/). Then install it with the following command:
sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-21.02.1-ramips-mt76x8-xiaomi_mi-router-4a-100m-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
I have just done that. Now I can access the gui but I still have no internet access.
how is this connected to the internet? Do you have a modem or a router in front of this device? What is the required connection type for your ISP (DHCP, PPPoE, Static IP)?
what is shown in **LuCI > Network > Interfaces ** for the WAN interface ?
eg. any IP address?
This router is connected to another router which is connected directly to the ISP. I am not sure what type of connection is required by my ISP and there is no clear instructions on their site.
what is IP address of your ISP router?
(eg. 192.168.1.x?)
The 4a must use a different subnet.
eg. 192.168.2.1
If you have this router behind anothe one, you must make sure the subnets do not overlap. If the upstream unit uses 192.168.1.0/24, you must change one of the routers to use a different network. That means changing the lan to something such as 192.168.2.1/24 or 10.0.3.1/24
Thanks, that helped!
Edit: the solution is
scp the update file to the routersysupgrade -vHello again,
Few days ago I figured out that this router is better than my main router and I decided to try to set it as my main router. After I did that I logged into the web interface and changed the lan protocol to DHCP (my previous router used it). When the change was done I was unable to connect to the router and after some time it reverted back to Static IP. What do I do in this situation?
your LAN should be setup via static IP -- don't change that.
It is the WAN that will probably need to change -- it must be setup according to your ISP's connection requirements (typically DHCP or PPPoE).
I still don't have access to the internet. It was already set to that
