Raspberry Pi 4 - I can access the internet but unable to connect to 192.168.1.1 or SSH

temporary123 · May 26, 2022, 5:48pm

Hello,

To start, this is my first experience installing OpenWrt. I'm sorry for any wrong use of the terminology. I'm still getting used.

For the past weeks I have been trying to install OpenWrt on a RP4B. I want it to serve as the main router:
Ethernet socket - (ethernet cable) - RPI4 - (WIFI).

These are the steps I'm following:

Flash openwrt into a microsd and insert the microsd into the rpi4;
Connect my compute by ethernet to raspberry pi 4 and setup the root password.
Enable WIFI (setup password) and check if I can connect to it (using another device).
Setup the wan interface (DHCP client).
Remove the ethernet cable from my compute and insert into the ethernet socket.

After these steps, I can connect to the WIFI with no problem, I have access to 192.168.1.1/ssh but I can't access the internet.
If I reboot the RPI4, I can access the internet but I'm not able to connect to 192.168.1.1 or ssh into the RPI4. I'm always stuck at this point.

I've search all over the internet and only found a similar thread here but the solution didn't work for me: Raspberry Pi 4 Unable to access SSH over wifi

Do you have any idea what might be causing this strange behaviour? Thank you in advance.

What is upstream of your Pi -- i.e. what's the "ethernet socket" -- is that a cable/DSL modem or an ONT? A router? A building supplied network connection?

And for specific troubleshooting, let's see your configuration:

Hi,

Thank you for the quick reply! Regarding the upstream to the Pi I think it is a building supplied network connection. It's a Ethernet socket on the wall.

Regarding the different commands:

What IP subnet does the socket use?

psherman · May 26, 2022, 6:12pm

You currently have eth0 defined in both the wan and the lan -- this will cause a conflict.
try removing the eth0 port from the br-lan.

Hi,

Thank you very much! That solved the problem. I'm really grateful.

Have a nice day.
