So i installed OpenWRT on my Asus RT-A53U router, but it's not working properly my internet is not stable it keeps turning on and off and sites are opening and not able to install any software. Stock firmware working fine without any issue i want to use VPN for specific connected, that's why i want to use OpenWRT.
How internet connected
ISP > Modem > Asus Router > PC
What's about it isn't stable?
What turns On and Off?
Please clarify.
Did you already configure this?
Do you receive a Public IP address on WAN?
what would you like us to do with "it doesn't work" ?
I got 4 of them in far to drive places and they work rock solid.
Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:
Remember to redact passwords, MAC addresses and any public IP addresses you may have:
ubus call system board
cat /etc/config/network
cat /etc/config/wireless
cat /etc/config/dhcp
cat /etc/config/firewall
Unstable it's some time website takes too long to open sometimes it opens in seconds when i join discord's voice channel it takes too long to connect
when i ping on 8.8.8.8 or any dns/ip it shows something like this

I'm not able to fully update the list or install software from web interface, it gives me error
I didn't try this because I was experiencing multiple issues, so I didn't get to this point.
Yes
your ASUS Router WAN and LAN subnets aren't the same, by any chance ?
i'll reinstall OpenWRT after that i will send you this log.
it probably won't change a thing ...
I hadn't checked that.

what I said, now answer the question.
How do i check this?
Sorry, this is my first time using OpenWrt
via ssh, you can run ifconfig.
it's also visible on the openwrt status page, if the webUI works.
Yeah both are same

overlap.
edit /etc/config/network, change the 192.168.1.1 IP to 192.168.2.1, save and reboot.
i got this error
-ash: /etc/config/network: Permission denied
"edit" means it's probably a text file, not an executable, right ?
yeah, but how do i edit this in PowerShell
there's no powershell in Linux.
there's vim.
or use winscp.
