Thanks for your reply.

I apologize for posting a photo, for some reason I can copy paste inside Putty but can't paste outside

You have not configured an upstream interface.

uci -q delete network.wan
uci set network.wan="interface"
uci set network.wan.ifname="usb0"
uci set network.wan.proto="dhcp"
uci -q delete network.wan6
uci set network.wan6="interface"
uci set network.wan6.ifname="usb0"
uci set network.wan6.proto="dhcpv6"
uci commit network
/etc/init.d/network restart

Assuming that usb0 is your USB tethering interface.

Connect USB modem/phone, enable tethering and check:

ip link show

If you don't see new interfaces, then install the drivers:

Oh! I don't think I can use usb tethering either

Because I can't install the drivers in Openwrt

Omg! the output of ip show link that I sent you was from linux terminal, I apologize

this the one from openwrt:
Screenshot-4

This means I can't use usb tethering too, because I can't install drivers when openwrt doesn't have internet access in the first place

You can download the drivers manually.

See the USB tethering guide above for the list of packages.

I get an error when I try installing packages manually via Openwrt Gui:

#### Executing package manager

Installing kmod-usb-net-rndis (4.14.195-1) to root...

##### Errors

Collected errors: * satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for kmod-usb-net-rndis: * kmod-usb-net * kmod-usb-net-cdc-ether * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-usb-net-rndis.

The *opkg install*  command failed with code `255`.

Download the missing dependencies using the same link.

How do I add the packages site to the repo?

It is already there and it will work when you configure an upstream interface.

I'm not sure if I understood what you mean, But won't it be the same thing since Openwrt can't access the internet?

I tried putting the link of the package here (correct me if I'm wrong) :

this is what I get:

The *opkg install*  command failed with code `255`.

am I doing it all wrong? I also tried putting the name of the package it says the package isn't in the repo, But just to let you know "the update list" (opkg update) also says 'failed to send request: operation not permitted'

what if we try the SCP method? If I know what I'm talking about

Download this package manually on your PC:

Yes, you can transfer it to your router with scp.

Okay, I'll try, I have already downloaded them, I'll see if I can apply the scp method
