[lleachii]

@mykelm03

the answer putting the line on the dropbear config,

option Interface 'lan'

I'm glad you got it working!

But...how did you access this config if you didn't have SSH access?

[mykelm03]

i could still telnet to the router using putty

Oh! Duh!
(That was important to mention.)

Nice work!
I guess you can mark this thread as solved then.

@lleachii

1.) Are you saying you cannot browse to the page I linked; or 2.) are you saying the instructions quoted do not work???

I'm saying the link in Installation method(s): doesn't get you anything/anywhere useful ....

Anyway, I added a comment underneath, to read the git instruction(s).

@frollic

The link in the wiki, to the git commit, doesn't work

The old link did work for me (there are redirects in place), but thank you for the update from lede to openwrt

If you would like to help other newifi D2 users in finding complete installation instructions, you can edit the devicepage https://openwrt.org/toh/lenovo/newifi_d2#installation

If you don't have a wiki account yet and don't plan to edit the wiki in the future, you can just paste the complete instructions here and $someone will hopefully update the devicepage.

ah, there was a device page, for some reason it didn't come up for me.

thnx
