Hey
I am new to OpenWrt an need some help with acitvating the 4G modem in my TP Link TL-MR6400 V5.2.
I managed to install OpenWrt by TFTP Method. When connecting WAN to a serperate Rooter/Modem Internet works fine over Ethernet and WLan.
But now I would like to use the internal 4G Modem.
Is there some software package that can just easysly be installed over the GUI?
I tried installing qmi-utils but failed.
failed how ?
Collected errors: * verify_pkg_installable: Only have 876kb available on filesystem /overlay, pkg glib2 needs 900 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package qmi-utils.
The opkg install command failed with code 255
have you installed any additional packages ?
if not, that's all the space you've got ...
I installed manualy over Lucy openvpn-openssl and luci-app-openvpn so far.
In the end I am not commited to a special software package. I just need any solution to access cellular internet, while being able to use the rooter as a vpn client. The native firmeware does not support use as vpn client.
Thanks for your fast reply. So because 900 KB are needed and only 897 KB are free, I have to remove some software to make space for the installation?
Is only qmi-utilis required?
Which software should I get rid of?
You can only remove what you installed yourself, removing packages that came with the image, doesn't free up any additional space.
If you need a smaller image (= more flash space available for packages) you'll have to create one yourself.
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/additional-software/imagebuilder might be of help.
OK thanks.
I managed to install qmi-utils. But after creating a new connection, selecting my modem and putting in my apn credentials, nothing happened. I did not get any IP address.
Has anyone gotten LTE running with the v5.2 model yet?
As a beginner I won't manage this on my own.
