When flashing the router had the IP-address 192.168.178.52, the notebook got an IP-address via DHCP and I could connect via LUCI.
After half an hour I still see:
## System - Flashing...
The system is flashing now.
DO NOT POWER OFF THE DEVICE!
Wait a few minutes before you try to reconnect. It might be necessary to renew the address of your computer to reach the device again, depending on your settings.

But for a very short moment something popped up like "network disconnected".
I assume after flashing and rebooting the router gets a new ip address. Default IP with openwrt is 192.168.1.1
I changed the notebook to a fixed ip: 192.168.1.66 and see "ping not reachable"
Not sure what I have to enter for gateway. Tried 192.168.1.66 and 192.168.1.1 too as gateway.
Router was reset by plugging out / in the cable after a long time.The LEDs on the router do not blink, PWR and SYS is constant green.
You are right, I could connect with the old ip now, but no idea, why this didn't work for the 1st time. It worked simply with going to DHCP back from the static address and removing all entries from the static part.

I was asked, if I want to migrate. I said yes. If I look at the files at /etc/config I can see the correct option key, but the wireless bridge doesn't work anymore,
Ok, done. But now I am unsure how to setup a wireless bridge, looks like there have been changes since the last years.
I found:
Using relayd as instructed in this article isn't guaranteed to work and only supports IPv4
The most common problem is that the client router cannot pass the DHCP message between the main router and the client connected to the client router. Currently it seems to be the hardware/SOC limitation (related to MAC cloning?)
I don't want to start with trial and error. Would be nice,, if you tell me or post a link how to setup a wireless bridged router.
Thanks, I know the join-part, but there are other options, eg in interfaces, which have to be changed. I discussed this years ago and can't find this thread with google. I remember there was an old wiki or something like this which was partially wrong. Maybe the options were related to my situation only.
