TP3020 Help **solved**

Post by petrichor »

Hey everyone,

TLDR I had a local router my TP3020 was connected to go bad on me. Before I realized that the router was the the actual problem (it failed over a period of days through constant reboots until it finally bricked) I dove into OpenWRT and probably changed a few too many things, oops :cry: . I did a reset on the firmware to start fresh. Now with my new router up and running and the TP3020 reset I'm having some issues getting it connected to my new network and it loading the application stack. If anyone could lend a hand I'd be very grateful.

Below is my log from the landing page. I can get any logs from OpenWRT as well if that will be helpful.

Code: Select all

Are you sure you’ve configured your TP 3020 internet access correctly ?. The 192.168.168.0 address seems way out of range if your router is configured as 192.168.0.1. Are both your TP3020 and your router set for DHCP or have you entered a fixed IP address for your TP3020 ?. I note that there is no gateway ip address shown in your config screen shot.

MY TP3020 is connected via the WAN and I have it manually set to ip 192.168.1.122. I believe what you're seeing is from the eth0. I'm not exactly sure how that ties into what's going on with everything. I tried to run the config once again to check all the settings once again and it's still doing the same thing. See below for the overview tab in Openwrt

Shouldn’t the IP address of your router be the gateway address rather than your internet IP address ?.
Have you tried using the standard network configuration rather than the Open Wrt Network Configuration?. The online manual indicates setting up your Meteobridge using Open Wrt Network Configuration requires expert knowledge of Open Wrt Network.

You're absolutely right. I've had quite the long week with the router going out on me. After you mentioned that I got to looking a little more closely at the numbers and I had entered our ISP gateway into the default gateway field. Changed that to 192.168.1.1 and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the help!
