Which should steer well clear of the network address ranges commonly assigned by consumer routers. This needs to be changed to something less common and less likely to conflict. Under General Settings, find the IPv4 Address entry.Ĭurrently, it is 192.168.1.1. Navigate to: Network -> InterfacesĪnd click on the Edit button next to the LAN interface. So, before continuing, we need to set up OpenWrt with some new IP address details. We’ll need to set a new IP for the router, which will also change the address range which DHCP will assign. Why? Because if your home network is also set up to use the network 192.168.1.0/24, OpenWrt will be struggling to find the correct routes to reach it, as it uses the same network addresses by default.Ĭlick here to find out more about networks, IP addresses, and subnets.ĭHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns IP addresses on your network. The first step is the change the IP address of OpenWrt and the DHCP server it hosts. You’ll see the following page with a bunch of stats about your router: Head to the default IP address used by OpenWrt: The easiest way to do this is often to enable flight mode, which will disable your WiFi connection and leave only your wired connection to OpenWrt. You may have to disconnect your computer from your home network while you set things up initially so that you aren’t connected to two conflicting networks. If you can’t access your OpenWrt device via a web browser on the default IP range, check if it conflicts with your existing network. Power up your OpenWrt device and plug it into your computer via Ethernet.īy default OpenWrt should have no wireless networks defined -and we’ll modify the configuration anyway, so a wired connection will be necessary. We’ll start by connecting it to your home WiFi network to get it online and then setting it up to broadcast its own WiFi network with its own DNS and DHCP settings. This article assumes you have an OpenWrt device you wish to start using. This guide follows on from LinuxScrew’s guide to setting up OpenWrt on a BT HomeHub 5 – but you can follow along on any device ( including a Raspberry Pi!).
