Unable to install packages in the second router

Hey,

I am new to homelab in general, I have one wrt19000ac that sits between the modem and the 24 ports switch feeding my home. I have a second dumb router wrt19000acv2 connected by lan to the main router. Its not a mesh wifi setup (although I should get on it) so it dispenses a separate wireless network.

The first router is running at 192.168.1.1 and the second one 192.168.1.2. The second router is unable to access internet to install packages such as watchcat as the wireless goes down randomly and requires me to manually reboot the wifi interface.

Hi

if i get it right, you made LAN - LAN connection between two OWRT ?
if this is true, then you missing default gateway on LAN interface
it should point to 192.168.1.1 primary OWRT
