WiFi clients have Internet access, but the Openwrt gateway itself does not

Although I have followed the instructions from https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/dumbap to the best of my knowledge and belief, I have probably not done everything correctly.

I can access the Internet with my MacBook via the Openwrt AP without any restrictions. However, the Openwrt Gateway itself does not seem to have Internet access.

Background: I wanted to install the "Ser2Net" package, but so far without success :wink:

What is missing or wrong in the configuration?

MacBook:

Typing mistake?
Perhaps you meant 192.168.1.130.

Thank you, you're absolutely right ... :hugs:

I added the Cloudflare DNS to be on the safe side ... :wink:
