Okay, I"d like to confirm we have WAN connectivity. Can you pls post the output of first route and then ip a ?

Oh just to add. the router itself doe snot have WAN connectibity or any internet. Im getting internet from another modem (USB tethering througha 4g modem on this laptop ) at the same time connected with wifi to Flint 2 to SSH. thats my setup now. if u want i can give it’s wan Internet

70

Oh, that makes sense.

Okay, here’s my thought process:

  • Your stock OWRT doesn’t have LuCI by default so we need to download it.
    • LuCI is comprised of multiple individual packages that are all required (see list)
  • There’s no direct, unfiltered WAN access on the Flint v2.
  • The Flint v2 features a USB port.
    • Using a USB disk/stick on OWRT requires packages to be downloaded.
      • There’s no WAN connectivity to do so.

OP, we’re going to be going really ‘old school’. Have you ever heard of the term ‘sneaker net’?

Oh, neat! So eth1’s 192.168.0.76 tells me it’s connected to at least something upstream. What is the Flint v2 connected to? Another router w/ WAN access, maybe?

Can you ping -c3 gl-inet.com fr the Flint v2 & post its output?

Yes. its connected to my 4g modem which is in the roof. connected with ethernet cable. i will send screenshot

also here is the output u wanted,

root@GL-MT6000:~# ping -c3 gl-inet.com
ping: bad address 'gl-inet.com'
root@GL-MT6000:~# ping -c3 gl-inet.com

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be routing packets to the 4G connection.

Is the 4G & Express VPN connection accessible fr your Ubuntu computer? Is there any trouble using Ubuntu to pull down the direct OWRT packages?

Sry for delay. Yes i can downlaod all the packages manually through the site. i can somehow manage to conenct to vpn. to downlaod the packages into my pc/laptop or flash disk

That’s great news. Don’t waste your time trying to download them right now; I’ll write a script that you can run on your Ubuntu computer that’ll do it for you.

My next question is if you can secure cpoy files directly from your Ubuntu machine to the Flint v2. Pls post the output of scp ~/.bashrc root@192.168.8.1:/root/ fr your Predator.

Now don’t you go teasing me; if you can cat ~/.bashrc fr your Flint v2, you & I are in business. No sneakernet needed.

We are fcvk’n GOLDEN!

So you can transfer files without needing a USB disk. Now we need to pull down the required packages fr OWRT’s package feeds via Ubuntu/4G, then scp them over to the Flint v2.

I’m going to write a small script for you to run on Ubuntu that will pull down the required packages need for OWRT to use a USB stick. This will be a test case before we try pulling down all the LuCI required packages (ipk s).

In the mean time please attempt to install FileZilla on Ubuntu; sudo apt install filezilla . We’re going to use it as a SCP client to upload the bunch of OWRT packages, the ipks, to your Flint v2. If you can’t because of Ayatollah , that’s okay. There’s other methods.

Before I start writing a script I really need to get some food. Give me 30 minutes… which should be more than enough for you to read up on using FileZilla for this method:
