Topic: Fonera+ problem

The content of this topic has been archived on 25 Mar 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hello guys,

I have installed openwrt on fonera+ router. I followed this procedure http://blog.coldtobi.de/1_coldtobis_blo … onera.html
But I believe something is wrong tongue

First of all I cannot telnet to 192.168.1.1 I get a timeout, in addition when I try to obtain ip via dhcp I get an error...

I can login to redboot though. So I have tried
fis load -l vmlinux.bin.l7 (it loads with no problems)
but when I execute it my router hangs on reboot.

Any ideas?

I had the same problem. but you can solve it.
It's a problem of network configuration, fonera+ has a switch and need a different configuration.
I follewed the suggestions of Lama Bleu (http://www.moliets-bastide.info/).
I paste here his method:

I think the problem is by default OpenWRT is using eth0 and eth1 as
LAN ans WAN interfaces. But for fonera+ we need to access eth0.0 and
eth0.1 ports.
I'm not sure it's the problem, but I think yes.


The other solution if you have some free time today, is to boot
FONERAM (working in RAM, no reflashing needed) and try to access the
JFFS partition, using "mtd-mount" command.
Then you can access/edit the /jffs/etc/network file to check if LAN is
on eth0 or eth0.0

If you have few minutes today, go to
http://www.moliets-bastide.info/post/FONERAM
Intructions are easy to use ( How to run section), and the you can
access the actual "rootfs" partition.

(I followed the guide on his site and I mounted the jffs partition with mtd-mount but he also suggest this way):

To mount the JFFS (very long, perhaps 3 minutes):
root@LamaBleu:~# mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock1 /jffs

(when you hat it mounted)

then perform this command (backup and replace network file):
cp /jffs/etc/config/network /jffs/etc/config/network.org
cp /etc/config/network /jffs/etc/config/network

and now the switch will work properly!

if you also want to active the wifi device you have to edit :

/jffs/etc/config/wireless

than reboot and enjoy it!

The discussion might have continued from here.
