It worked correctly the first time: I have connected to 192.168.8.1, I have updated firmware, I have setup OpenVPN, and it was behaving correctly.
Then I tried setting the mode switch slider to “openvpn”, it would say that the setting was applied, but then when I got back to the homepage the slider was set again to “nothing”.
I rebooted the router, but now even though the router works (it is correctly connected to the OpenVPN account and I have traffic) I can’t connect to the GUI interface anymore. When I type the ip address 192.168.8.1 in the browser it will just respond as “unable to connect”.
I haven’t changed the LAN IP, and I have also looked inside my network connections, and the router’s ip still is 192.168.8.1, so the address is correct.
Ok, I solved by entering the failsafe web GUI and flashing a new firmware.
This time I have only uploaded a few ovpn files (and not the complete “library” from my VPN service), which did not saturate the memory and everything looks fine. I’ll keep testing and see what happens.
Hello, I want to connect Mango and when I do the search google 198.168.8.1 it puts me site inaccessible.I removed firewall and entivirus but it’s the same. I tried what you say but it does not work.
@mikalbi It seems like you’ve got a different issue than the OP. A new thread where you post what OS you’re running on your “desktop” as well as its IP addresses and routes might be a good approach.
Why you search GooGle? You should enter 192.168.8.1 in address bar, not search filed. Make sure you have connect to the router(with LAN cable or wireless).
If anyone here has updated to a newer version of OpenWrt you may see that you cannot access the GLI Admin panel. The OpenWrt website states :- Unsupported Functions: NAND flash not supported until after 19.07.x, must be forced into booting from NOR flash You may find that going to 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.8.1 directs you to the OpenWrt Luci interface. It seems i have this problem . Getting an older version 19 firmware file is proving to be a little difficult at the moment.as of Jan 2023 and although i like the GLI Admin interface it seems for now i will be forced to stick with the full OpenWrt V22.
