Problem about changing the router's ip address

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I have a bananaPi 3 which I just installed openwrt on it, I want to chang it's ip address from default 192.168.1.1 to something else,so I followed the instruction from https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/openwrt_as_routerdevice, changed the ip address, but only got this warning message:

Configuration changes have been rolled back!

The device could not be reached within 90 seconds after applying the pending changes, which caused the configuration to be rolled back for safety reasons. If you believe that the configuration changes are correct nonetheless, perform an unchecked configuration apply. Alternatively, you can dismiss this warning and edit changes before attempting to apply again, or revert all pending changes to keep the currently working configuration state.

If I ignore this message and choose "Apply Unchecked" the router become unreachable to which I have to resort to factory reset. So what did I do wrong and what should I do?

You told it to change the IP, remember ?

You can always edit /etc/config/network by hand.

Sounds like you have not forced PC to change it's own IP address to match the subnet of the router's new address & subnet (if you changed the router away from 192.168.1.x subnet). You might need to change the fixed IP address if there is one, or you may need to force DHCP renewal, maybe by unplugging cable.

Ps. And in any case you need to re-enter the new address to the browser to go thehe.
