Connecting your new OpenWRT router to the network
Once you have received a parcel from us, follow these steps to connect your new router to the network.
1. Unpack the box and take out the router
2. Connect the network cables
Unless you specified otherwise, device will come pre-configured with Port 0 as WAN and port 1 as LAN.
WAN (wan) -> eth0 -> DHCP
LAN (lan) -> eth1 -> v4: 192.168.1.1/24
Port 0 is the one closest to the serial port. Connect your internet cable into the WAN port, and your switch to LAN as shown on the photo:
If you have ordered 3-port router, your LAN port will be in the middle, and the third port will be left unconfigured.
If you have router with WiFI adapter, your antennas have been shipped unconnected. Screw them in now.
3. Connect the power adapter
Connect the power plug into your router before connecting it into the wall.
4. APU board is booting
Your router should now boot. OpenWRT boots rather quickly. It should take about 20 seconds for it to fully boot. Unfortunately OpenWRT doesn't announce with any sound that it finished booting.
5. Connect to the web interface.
You should now be able to connect from your computer via the web interface to the OpenWRT web control panel at: http://192.168.1.1/
