Topic: OpenWRT + Huawei E3131s on TL MR3220 v2

The content of this topic has been archived on 20 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hello,

I've downloaded and installed openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3220-v2-squashfs-factory.bin onto the router.
But, I have no internet, no web interface.

I can ping the router on 192.168.1.1, nmap says ports 22 and 53 are open.
I was able to login via telnet, set the root password, then login via ssh.

Now:
Is there a way to get a web interface so I can configure the 3G modem?
Is there a way to upload another firmware via command line?
Is there a way to revert to the old TL firmware?

This OpenWRT looks nice but so far, it's a real headache to have it up and running.

Thank you very much for your pointers.

If you are using trunk, there is no web interface installed.

At CLI, try this sequence of commands:

opkg update
opkg install luci
/etc/init.d/uhttpd start

Buuut, you of course need a working internet access for that.

To your second and third questions: yes there are.  Search wiki, particularly the table of hardware for your device regarding 3rd question.

LASTLY: please note where you posted this - "Howtos and Documentation".  As the sticky rreads: "FORUM IS FOR DOCUMENTATION ONLY" (quoted; not my shouting...:)

Sorry for posting this in the wrong place.

Is it possible to set opkg to use a local package repository?
I could download the essential packages onto my laptop, install from a http://laptop/openwrt/, set the router to work with the 3G modem, then use the official repository for the other packages.


by the way, the OpenWRT version says:

BusyBox v1.19.4 (2013-02-14 10:55:24 UTC) built-in shell (ash)
BARRIER BREAKER (Bleeding Edge, r35593)

I tried to update to a version from trunk of June 3rd to have the packages match the release.

When I tried to install nano and luci packages I got a message about running out of space.

I tried to reflash to the initial version, the v1.19.4 (2013-02-14) but the same out of space message appeared.

The discussion might have continued from here.
