4.1 Log Into Your Router Running OpenWrt
We have installed OpenWrt but now is time to get our router configured. Visit your router's
administration page. No matter what the address was before, OpenWrt simplifies this by setting the
administration address to be
. At that page you should see a login page: (correct
as of Barrier Breaker)
As you'll see, there's a notification that “root” user's password is not set. root is the username of the
main administrative user on OpenWrt. We'll need to set that after we login. Log in with the username
of
root
and leave the password field empty. Note: If you have installed a “tiny” build or a “snapshot”
build, LuCI web interface will likely not be present and you will need to use ssh to login as
root@192.168.1.1 (telnet is no longer supported by OpenWrt-project builds) Note: If the
configuration of your router prior to flashing was somewhat exotic (e.g., router previously at
192.168.17.1), your PC (or whatever) might struggle to reconnect. If in doubt, consider simply
rebooting the PC, or any other way to reset the connection.
