Hi Lizh and WCS

Thank you for those suggestions but again alas neither of those worked. The good news is I’ve fixed it by accident somehow. I’m a bit more familiar Ubuntu, so decided to see if I could get Ubuntu running on the Brume. I therefore went back to the instructions on GitHub - gl-inet/mv1000-ubuntu-image

Jumping to point 5 I obviously couldn’t curl from the Brume because it wasn’t connecting to the internet, so instead I ran that function from Ubuntu on WSL2 from my Windows machine. I then used WinSCP to transfer the Ubuntu.tar.gz file to /tmp on the Brume and modified the script included on the github page to remove the curl line. After that I switched to boot from Ubuntu, and was able to connect to that via a normal ethernet cable. I messed around within Ubuntu for a while, didn’t find anything that I thought would solve the issue I was seeing within Openwrt, but then when I put in the command:
switch_system openwrt
to get back into Openwrt, it rebooted and suddenly the LAN connections are workign successfully again. Brilliant.

So, in short, no idea how the issue has been fixed. It seem that installing Ubuntu as a second boot option has resolved things though so I’m dead chuffed.

Thanks very much to both of you for your suggestions with this stuff.
