I tried to disable Request IPv6-address from WAN6, I been able to update but same error come.
If I disable WAN6, all work ok.

Do you know why WAN6 cause wget and opkg update fail please? It is probably ipv6 related problem.

It looks like you have an IPv6-address.

Why don't you try to enable and utilize it properly?

ifup wan6; sleep 10; ifstatus wan6
ip -6 a; ip -6 r; ip -6 ru
traceroute6 example.org

It is trying to download from IPv6 and fails.
Try the commands posted by @Hegabo and we'll see what can be the issue there.

There's no IPv6-prefix and the IPv6-traffic seems blocked on the ISP-gateway.
Nothing really to do here other than disabling it, I suppose:

uci set network.wan6.disabled="1"
uci commit network
service network reload
ifdown wan6
wget -O /dev/null http://downloads.openwrt.org/
