Hi, ever since i installed OpenWrt on my WNDR3700v4 i can't get into the gateway for my modem/router combo which is 192.168.1.254, how should i go about this?
Also read something about bridging the modem/combo and dedicated router too but can't get into my modem since gateway won't work.
Tried to change LAN to 10.0.0.1 since that was what it was before i changed the router firmware. Did not work and caused me to lose connection. Router was locked up, pressed the nipples twice on the router to reset it and got back into router with same settings before i screwed up.
Can you tell me what i should change it to and how should i possibly go about it. Thank you.
Im getting a static Ip Address for LAN
WAN is DHCP.
Yes i am browsing to new page within 30 seconds, no i did not know there was an emergency revert feature.
I got past the first line of code then start of
"config route" not found
root@OpenWrt:~# # in /etc/config/network
root@OpenWrt:~# config route
-ash: config: not found
root@OpenWrt:~# option interface 'wan'
-ash: 25option: not found
root@OpenWrt:~# option target '192.168.1.254/32'
-ash: option: not found
root@OpenWrt:~# option gateway '192.168.1.1'
FYI, this is not the renumber LAN method. This is the method to put a route saying that 192.168.1.254 is on WAN and not LAN. Successfully renumbering the LAN would make this unnecessary.
I strongly recommend you renumber your LAN. Doing so is tricky because you will lose connection. I'd suggest 10.x.y.0/24 where x and y are both something other than 0, 1, or 10, so for example 10.22.15.0/24, if you set that up, you're unlikely to ever have a conflict with anything else.
when you change this, the router will become unresponsive, wait about 30 seconds, and it will come back and tell you you didn't confirm within the timeout period, and then select to save the config unchecked. After that you can restart your computer's network and should get a DHCP assignment in the new net range.
Though this thread is old, i wanted it to be known i have found a fix... I chose not to renumber because it would simply go offline afterwards because it would not be able to renumber. I've read on reddit some others had this issue, fix was to go to CMD to change it manually rather than from GUI. I've since changed my modem gateway from 192.168.1.254 as it conflicts with my router address of 192.168.1.1. From 192.168.1.254 to 192.168.2.254. It works now.
Sorry, this is going to be confusing. I swapped from a Netgear WNDR3700v4 to a R7800 because the WNDR3700v4 wasn't mine and wasn't supposed to be modified with openwrt, once family found out i did this, they wanted me to revert to oem factory firmware. I fixed the issue with not being able to renumber the address to what i'd like it to be by simply going to modem to change it to a different i believe "subnet" or "octet", used it for couple days and then had to revert back to oem firmware.
I'm new to OpenWrt and reason i didn't go with the renumbering method by commands is because i'm not fluent with how to do it and easier just to go by GUI but GUI doesn't seem to work and always goes offline/reverts after 30 seconds.

Today i received mail for the NETGEAR R7800 i purchased online. Better than the older router my family had which was a single core and less RAM too.
Sorry, what i mean by "fix was to go to CMD to change it manually rather than from GUI" is because others stated this. I can't even find the article on reddit at the moment. Don't know what i was doing on Google search to find that. My way of doing it was to change it from my modem from 192.168.1.254 to 192.168.2.254 and it finally worked, i can access both modem and router gateway addresses and configure both without issues. If i can find it i'll post it here, lleachii.
