Connective problems without WAN port

[Woodski]

Hi,

I'm no Linux expert and happily using 1.8.1 on an Archer C7 as an access point (gateway). The WAN port is assigned to LAN and I did configure the gateway and DNS server properly. DHCP is disabled

Code: Select all

Device Configuration  Gateway (Default) 

Internet / WAN
Connect Via: Disabled
Wan Ethernet Port:Bridge to LAN

Local Network / LAN
Router IP:	192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask:	255.255.255.0
Gateway:	192.168.1.2
DNS Servers:  	Google DNS servers

Active Routes
Destination	Interface(Network)	Gateway		Metric
default		br-lan (LAN)		192.168.1.2	0
192.168.1.0	br-lan (LAN)		*		0

Code: Select all

root@Gargoyle:~# ping google.com
PING google.com (74.125.133.113): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 74.125.133.113: seq=0 ttl=45 time=16.378 ms

But now OPKG is not working. I believe because of the missing WAN port.
WGET works as a workaround but that is a pain

Code: Select all

root@Gargoyle:~# opkg update
Downloading package list for barrier_breaker_routing source...
Package list for barrier_breaker_routing downloaded successfully.

root@Gargoyle:~# opkg install curl
ERROR: No package named curl found, try updating your package lists

Is there any trick around this ?
Or do I really need to use the WAN port as an internet link to get this running ?

I also have a USB stick working as /dev/sda2
It works for TOR and CIFS but how do I CD to it ?

Code: Select all

root@Gargoyle:~# fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 3.8 GiB, 4007657472 bytes, 7827456 sectors

Rather a lot of Gargoyle functionality relies on having Internet connectivity via that WAN port

/tmp/usb_mount

/tmp/usb_mount

Great that works
