Reading in a foreign language is not what makes me angry... reread posts I have already read before posting either.
It is not the content that bothers me (because I have succeeded thanks to you and your tracks) but the form that is really not pleasant and more than dismissive.
As a result, everything that follows behind in your answers looks more like an attack than a help.
Anyway, I managed to install it.
Now I need help to change the basic ip address from 192.168.1.1.1 to 192.168.0.1.
I've tried many times but it makes me a rollerback
If it is truly "crashing" your router, then capturing the logs, perhaps by ssh-ing into the box and running logread so they remain on your terminal screen for easy copying, would help determine if there is a bug.
When making IP address changes of this sort, on OpenWrt or otherwise, I always make sure I have connectivity to the device that will "survive" changes or errors. This can include, for example:
Serial or other console access
Creating a management interface in advance of the change
If I didn't have console access, I would:
Create a new interface with a static IP address that isn't in either my "old" or "new" LAN subnet
Configure the switch to connect that interface to either a specific LAN socket, or over a VLAN
Configure my "desktop" to be able to connect to the management interface and confirm it works
Change the LAN network configuration using the management interface
For me, a separate management interface (on a VLAN, if possible) is among my first steps on any device, OpenWrt or otherwise.
why doesn't the dhcp list display all devices connected to the router? I need to do a scan to find the ip.
My internet box is connected on the wam and has an access ip which is 192.168.1.254. My router is configured on an ip range of 192.168.0.1 how can I access my box?
DHCP list will only show devices which used dhcp from the router. Those configured with a static IP will not be in the list. You can see the IP and MAC of everything that has connected to the router using arp.
If you are double-NATting (the WAN IP is a private one 192.168.1.X issued by the modem), you can access the modem by simply going from a LAN PC to 192.168.1.254. Anything outside of 192.168.0.X will be routed to the WAN port automatically.
If your modem is bridged (a public IP on the WAN) you can add a second IP to the WAN port and a route to it to access the modem's administration page.
Control such as having a list of allowed and disallowed websites is possible with OpenWrt, but takes more memory than your device has. Time based all or nothing rules like turning off the wifi or Internet access entirely at night is possible.
(Again this information is in the manual, and available by searching the forums.)
You asked what ARP is. I sent you a WIki entry (in French and English) - and the manual to use the arp command. The DHCP server in OpenWrt only knows the IPs it issued. As @mk24 said, to see all other IPs:
believe me that's what I do, but I'm not a pro and therefore what seems logical to you is not logical to me. I looked at the links you gave me but I didn't see all this.
I learned the same way, via looking at the manual. I never implied anything requires professional skill. It does require basic understanding of networking and web browsing, though.
Hi! Could somebody please help me with entering recovery mode for this device so I could install an openwrt binary on it via TFTP? So far, I tried:
holding down reset button on startup for 4 seconds,
holding down factory reset button on startup for 4 seconds.
The lights on router still don't start flashing as they should. So far, I managed to enter recovery mode easily on Linksys and Asus routers, but this one oposes a problem...
Thanks!
I don't think the lights flash. You need to have your TFTP server ready to go on 192.168.0.66 as the router comes up, then it should download the file and flash it.
Connect an unmanaged switch between the router and PC so the PC doesn't see the Ethernet carrier drop and reconfigure its port.
Do not have the PC connected to any other network, wired or wireless.
Shut down any firewalls on the PC. The default Windows Firewall will prevent TFTP server from working.
