but i am not able to update package list or install any packages, i search the forum and google only a few pointers but i am confused if this should be fixed in the final release which i am using and how to troubleshoot this. Any pointer welcome.
Errors i get are the following when using luci update list.
Failed to establish connection
Failed to establish connection

Just follow the advice that the error message gives you...
This is not a opkg failure, but you simply have no proper network connectivity.
Your basic network settings are somehow wrong and you do not reach the internet.
Not really. Luci actually runs just that exactly same command "opkg update" and does nothing else. (and opkg uses wget to fetch the data. no hidden magic)
My guess is that you just had a break in connectivity just at the moment, or the routing was changing in some way, or your ISP's DNS server failed to resolve the address in timely fashion, or anything like that. Something transient in any case.
hey people! where is the solution for that kind of question? I have exactly same problem, but after ArmandH said »the lan is configured and the wifi as well« and posted wget output after that, i'd painfully missed the solution how he get's his fucking machine on the road =) How did you start it using the internet?
Only a how-to-use-the-internet-reference like »As that works now, just try “opkg update” again.« aren't helpful
Want my Archer C7 run openWRT for big german decentralised network of the people called "Freifunk" and havent't any ideas – as I said – with same problem. »Failed to establish connection« I figured out, that this must be an connection error to the internet..
Like his error message said, his basic internet connectivity was somehow broken.
The default setting work for most users. So usually the problem is due to used having already changed some network settings. Or alternatively, the device is behind a second router, or something similar extra in network.
Without info about your network envinroment, nobody can give you any specific advice.
