Hi all,
First time OpenWRT user here doing my first install on a TPLink OnHub router.
I've followed the website's guide and everything seems to have gone well except for getting access to the device via ssh.
Current state is:
- Device is powered
- LED ring is multi-colored (rainbow / red green blue etc)
- USB, flashed with balenaEtcher and the correct .bin file
- https://openwrt.org/inbox/toh/google/onhub_tp-link_tgr1900#installation
- I used the "OnHub TGR1900" Firmware OpenWrt Install URL.
- Device is plugged into a network switch which indicates it is active
-
tracertfrom my Win11 cmd prompt actually shows OpenWRT in the listing:
-
>tracert 192.168.86.232
Tracing route to OpenWrt.lan [192.168.86.232]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms OpenWrt.lan [192.168.86.232]
Trace complete.
However when I attempt to ssh to this device, I simply get connection refused:
ssh root@192.168.86.232
ssh: connect to host 192.168.86.232 port 22: Connection refused
SSH is occuring from a different device on the same network which can also see the IP.
Nmap ran and I think this shows why I can't connect, but I don't really know what to do about it:
# nmap -v 192.168.86.232

Would love any help you can offer.
Just another edit:
I ran another nmap specifically against port 22:
