Hi i just installed openwrt on my Xiaomi 4A router R4AC, and after reboot i cant do nothing.
I see OpenWrt.mshome.net in my network under adress 192.168.137.251 i can ping it, but i cant ssh or telnet.
ssh: connect to host 192.168.137.251 port 22: Connection refused
The default address of OpenWrt is 192.168.1.1. It sounds like you're trying to connect from an upstream LAN (i.e. internet > main router > wan port of Xiaomi 4A R4C w/ OpenWrt; your computer connected to the main router with an address on the 192.168.137.0/24 network).
All unsolicited incoming connections from the WAN are blocked by the firewall by default. Therefore, you need to connect to one of your R4AC's lan ports, then try to connect via ssh:
ssh root@192.168.1.1
Try that and report back.
My computer is connected to a Wifi network, and I am sharing this connection to the ethernet socket that is connected with a cable to the WAN port in Openwrt
Yes, this makes sense. You will not be able to connect to OpenWrt from the WAN side by default, since the firewall blocks incomming connections.
You must connect by an ethernet cable from your computer to the OpenWrt lan port.
Yes, I went down to the main router with the laptop, connected the Xiaomi to the router and everything started working
Great.
