[SOLVED] WiFi Uplink Connection not working

Installing and Using OpenWrt
#1

Hi, I'm using a GL.iNet GL-AR750S on OpenWrt Snapshot r9813-b812a7fa68 (git-19.093.68468-d679b93).

I've created the router's local WiFi (192.168.168.0/24), and want to use it to connect to other WiFis (with travelmate), ideally (later) with a VPN tunnel to my home firewall. For test purposes, I am connecting to my home wifi (192.168.5.0/24).

What works:

  • Connecting to the router's wifi with mobile devices.
  • Connecting the router to my home wifi in the sense that I get dhcp assigned IPv4 address (192.168.5.27), gateway (192.168.5.1) and DNS (192.168.1.102).

What does not work:

  • Any further connection from the router to machines on my wifi (or lan), or the internet.

I.e., very basically, the router can only ping itself, but nothing more:

root@OpenWrt:~# ping 8.8.8.8
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8): 56 data bytes

3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.257/0.260/0.266 ms

Routing does, however, look good to me:

Any hint on what I'm missing would be highly appreciated!

I don't think that you can put multiple networks on a single line of a firewall zone's option network.
Use this instead:

    ...
    list network 'wan'
    list network 'wan6'
    list network 'trm_wwan'
    ....

Of course if you're never going to use an Ethernet WAN, you could just delete wan and wan6.

Nope, it is valid.
@TryingOut what is the output of the commands:

I tried disabling the firewall on the router (System->Startup in luci), but that didn't change anything. And for other devices that I connect to my home wifi, internet and lan access is working. So it must be something about the openwrt configuration - something other than the firewall.

Then I also tested connecting the router via lan to my network. This works, including internet access. In case it helps, the requested info (excl. wireless config...) also from a lan connection:

It would be great to know what I'd need to change about the wifi config to get it working on openwrt! And I really appreciate you guys looking into problems that aren't yours!

#7

Is it expected that the wired connection has IP 192.168.1.27 while the wireless has 192.168.5.27 ?

#8

Yes, 192.168.1 is my LAN, 192.168.5 is my wifi.

#9

One thing you can try is to delete the "travel" access point, so that only client mode to "HomeWIFI" is using the 2,4GHz radio. After you establish that this is working fine, gradually add the access point to a different channel though.

#10

@trendy points out that usually a home router has the wifi and wired users in the same network segment. This seems like some sort of guest network. Does this 192.168.5.1 network provide simple access to the Internet when you connect to it directly using an ordinary device in DCHP mode, no special configuration? Is there any captive portal, MAC registration, etc?

#11

@mk24: Yes, 192.168.5 provides simple internet access. I can connect with, e.g., my phone to the internet by merely entering the WPA2 password. Gateway, DNS, etc. are provided by the DHCP server, and it "just works". The data provided by dhcp to all machines in 192.168.5 is the data I pasted above from the openwrt router. Nothing special here for the openwrt router vs. other wireless devices. I just tested this again with my phone.

@trendy: "Travel" is the wifi "created" by openwrt. If I delete the "Travel" wifis, won't I lose access the openwrt router? There is a firewall on openwrt which (rightfully) blocks ssh and luci from "wan".

#12

You can add a firewall rule to allow SSH and HTTP/S from WAN in order to test it.

#13

Ok, so I disabled the firewall for these tests. As wifi access to the router is not working through my HomeWIFI (the core problem because I opened this topic), I nevertheless dug out a machine that I could connect via LAN to the router... :slight_smile: Fortunately, because deleting the travel access point didn't change connectivity:

One thing I noticed when I tried to configure my Travel wifis again: In luci, Network -> Wireless -> Edit says for the travel wifi on 2.4ghz, for Channel: Locked to channel 1 used by: Client "HomeWIFI"

Not sure if that was there before. Things are working as before, though (including no connection to the internet through my home wifi).

#14

It is very weird. The wireless seems associated to the AccessPoint and successfully acquired IP from DHCP (is my understanding right?), so there is 2way connectivity. But beyond that there is nothing.

May I suggest the following. Restore factory defaults and setup from scratch. First remove any Access point from default configuration and create the client profile for your HomeWifi. You should be able to control the router via SSH or Luci over the LAN port. Verify that you have connectivity to the home network and the internet.

#15

I'm getting the same problem even with factory settings:

Could you install tcpdump (tempararily connect via LAN?) and run it on the wwan interface?
tcpdump -i wlan1 -vvn

#17

You have a wifi connection to HomeWIFI and a route to 192.168.5.1 but it does not answer pings. This could be a problem at the home router.

Has wwan been added to the wan firewall zone?

For a router that is always going to have a wifi backhaul, I prefer to not create a new wwan network. Instead, remove the Ethernet port from the default wan network and use it. The firewall is already set up.

    option ssid 'HomeWIFI

Here there is a syntax error (missing closing quote) or perhaps just a missed paste.

#18

(As a heads up for those helping, this is likely 18.06 with the GL.iNet utilities. It “drives” pretty much like 18.06. There is not SPI NAND on upstream 4.14, so only NOR for OpenWrt images right now. )

#19

Well, that's a pretty big amount of data... I see DNS requests from the router as well as broadcasts on the 192.168.5 subnet.

It seems that no one is answering back to the router. If you look closely, you have a lot of packets sourcing from 192.168.5.27 to various destinations, but no packet comes back with destination the 5.27. You only receive some multicasts, which means that there is 2 way communication.

It looks like a captive portal behavior, but I am pretty sure nothing to blame on the router.
Could you try to browse something from a PC connected behind the router?

Can you try to ping the router from another PC connected on the Wifi or the LAN of the modem-router of your ISP, or from the modem-router of the ISP itself? (with tcpdump running tcpdump -i any -vvn icmp)

On a first sight your setup looks quite usual/OK. Please provide the output of the following two commands (assuming that you still use travelmate for your uplink connection):

ubus call system board

ubus call network.interface dump

Thanks!
