(TD-W8968) ping: bad address 'gnu.org'

root@OpenWrt:~# ping gnu.org

ping: bad address 'gnu.org'

This problem appears to be pretty common from what I. I've tried things like adding 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to DNS forwardings, adding 192.168.1.3 or 192.168.1.15 to IPv4 gateway (IPv4 address is 192.168.1.1), disabling dnsmasq from startup, etc.

Outputs of some commands, before you ask me (Not sure if anything needs redacting, so went on the safe side. Let me know if I redacted something pertinent):

• There is no WAN configuration
• If you intended to use LAN for Internet connectivity, you'll need to add
  • DNS server
  • Gateway

Is this device a dumb AP ?

Thanks for pointing in the right direction.

Used 1.1.1.1 as DNS server and main router IP address as gateway.
