Router will not connect to internet via wifi

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

someone suggested using...

192.168.111.2 = ip-a
192.168.111.1 = router

but doesnt open Luci admin.

I went into Luci & to interfaces / lan and set following...

ipv4 addr: 192.168.111.1
ip4 netmask: 255.255.255.0
ipv4 gateway: empty

SAVE & APPLY: LUCI SAYS....

Changes made 2 lan. This could inhibit device. Any ip change requires connecting to the new ip within 90 seconds to retain changes.

2 OPTIONS:
--- apply reverting in case of connectivity loss
--- apply unchecked

I checked 1st one, but times out after 90 seconds.

FAILED TO ACHIEVE...CHANGES ROLLED BACK

OPTIONS:
-- dismiss
-- revert changes
-- apply unchecked

I dont want to have to reset router again if i make mistakes.

Help prevent me from making a mistake.

But in lan interface still says 2 'has 2 pending changes'.

This guide should help:

Importantly, your OpenWrt lan must be a different subnet than the upstream router's lan.

Thanks Peter.

If i had 192.168.1.1 in routers ip, whats point in changing it then since the subnet was already different?

thanks for guide, i'll check it out.
thx

There would be no point/no need to change it if the upstream and downstream would already be different. I don't know why you were advised to change it.

I dont knowvwhy, but...

Interfaces, lan, i changed 192.168.1.1 TO 192.168.111.1.

I had ip-a: 192.168.111.2
ip r: 192.168.111.1

BEFORE ROUTER CHANGE TO 192.168.111.1 (IPV4 ADDR)

So they all are using 111...

Surprisingly, for 1st time i was able to pull up 192.168.111.1 !!))

Just mentioning...this stuff is confusing as heck)))

I'm not really sure what interfaces you're referring to and what you're changing (or not).

Let's review your config:

Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:
