installed from tp-link archer c6u interface by selecting downloaded firmware.
able to access and configure pppoe on openwrt
after reboot, able to access internet from pc using wired cable
no longer able to access the router page.
tried 192.168.1.1 and some variants.
"ip route | grep default" command on pc gave the following result:
after initial configuration and reboot, could not also connect by ssh though configured.
could not quite get the url for the router.
how to debug the same ? and access console atleast.

what IP does your client get ?
that's expected, wifi is off by default, if that's what you mean by wlan.

hmmm...back to square one.
My question was how to access router ip for configuration.
The ip address is closed for ssh, http configuration with no ports apparently open. During initial configuration, along with pppoe, I also enabled ssh and configured

and my counter question was what IP you were getting from the device.
ssh doesn't need configuring, it's always on.

inet 10.233.255.204/16 brd 10.233.255.255
ssh needs configuring password, in general, right?
going through the link..

isn't the default openwrt IP/range, makes me wonder how (or where) you're actually connecting ...
isolate a wired client and the device, disable wifi, etc, and try again.

Even I was wondering this weired wired ip range.
Looking at the router, found the broadband connected to LAN port !!
Connecting to WAN port fixed the issue.
Now the ip address is,
inet 192.168.1.210/24 brd 192.168.1.255
able to connect to 192.168.1.1
@frollic : Thanks for the excellent help.
My sincere best wishes to the community. First time used the openwrt today and I had a great experience.
