I am really new developing for OpenWrt and was looking for it for a long time.
Sorry for my bad English, I am from Brazil.
I am using Lua and Luci to develop a OpenWrt interface.
I want to check if the router has internet connectivity. It could be making a HTTP GET request to my server or getting the IP address or in a simplest way.
I would appreciate not having to install external APIs. There is a way to do that?
Thank you in advance.

You can do a ping command in the Network / Diagnostics.
If the router has internet it will get response like this:
PING openwrt.org (78.24.191.177): 56 data bytes

--- openwrt.org ping statistics ---

round-trip min/avg/max = 112.902/113.542/115.161 msI don't know if this may help you, but maybe you could parse that output.
The discussion might have continued from here.
