Yesterday I installed OpenWrt on my Redmi AX6000. I can not connect to 192.168.1.1 using wifi connection. It is only possible if i connect my laptop using lan cable. How to fix it?
use the wired connection to enable wifi ?
Yes I enabled wifi using webui and connected succesfully. I am connected to this network. It works, but the speeds are random.
- they usually are
- define "random"
- what are you testing, and how ?
- have you set a country for your wifi ?
I have 1GB and speeds are sometimes 50 megabit, sometimes 700 megabit, sometimes 450.
I test using speedtest.net
I set my my country in settings.
But why I can't connect to 192.168.1.1 when on wifi?
welcome to internet.
test using a wired connection.
because you probably misconfigured something, or aren't connected to the correct wifi.
Wifi is correct. Can I reset OpenWrt to default settings somehow? Will it help?
there's a "Perform reset" option in System -> Backup / Restore Firmware.
probably, but we can only guess.
the default settings are correct, you "only" need to set the wifi name, password, encryption and country.
Ok, probelm connecting to 192.168.1.1 sovled. Is there really nothing to do to have more stabe internet speeds? I am like only 5 meters from router.
Call your ISP and complain...
By default, the config for a new install to a router disables wifi as a security measure. I can't remember if wifi has a default SSID set. 'OpenWRT' without encryption, which isn't secure if left unconfigured.
You seem to have received snark and abuse for your concerns about the wifi speeds - as an openwrt member, i can only apologize, and hope others will stop by and offer useful suggestions.
The wifi basics i would check (for each interface listed in Network -> wireless overview):
- correct country code, (under 'Advanced settings')
- channel set to 'auto', bandwidth set as you want it,
- mode set to the fastest for the given frequency.
Those are the first things to check, after that, degubbing wifi speed changes becomes more of a challenge. Suspicious messages in the log (Status->System Log) ?
Interference from other devices, nearby networks? Others pirating your connection if you haven't set wireless encryption method and password?
Good luck, hopefully you can search this category for wireless speed debugging. There will be many threads on this!
Thank you. It was a very helpful suggestion. I had it set on channel 1 and 36, not auto. We'll see how this works now.
Fyi, specifying a specific channel could force the radio being disabled if that one channel is not available.
At a minimum it may force your traffic onto a channel already crowded by some of your neighbors.
Even though I set it to "auto", it still uses channels 1 (2.4GHz) and 36 (5GHz). I assume it takes a while to set to the optimal channel?
I feel that there is a lot of guessing, but it would be best to see the config to be able to determine what is actually happening on the device.

to which device the wan is connected to?
are you using as wired repeater or main router?
is same behaviour seen in wired pc or only in wifi connected devices?
does 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz network signal weak/ what is the rssi?
So it is clear that you have another router upstream of the OpenWrt device.
With that in mind, when you connect to wifi and try to reach 192.168.1.1, are you doing this by connecting to the SSID called "OpenWrt" or are you connecting to the wifi of the upstream router?
My connection: the signal from the operator comes via a coaxial cable to the operator's modem (which also has wifi, but deactivated because I didn't need to use it). Redmi AX6000 is connected to it via LAN1. I connected an old router to LAN2 (I have my smart home configured on it - Aqara, Xiaomi. It will take me a long time to transfer it to the new one, so for now it works in parallel).
So, let's go back to the initial problem... you said you cannot login to the OpenWrt router when connected to wifi. Is that still an issue?
If so, please check the IP address of the device you are using while you attempt to make that connection (phone, computer, tablet) and report that here.
