We had one of these at work which was running OpenWRT 18.06.1. Somebody messed with it and in the end did a firstboot reset through a serial connection just to make the box responsive to login attempts again and then tried uploading a config backup which was made before the trouble started. Unfortunately, the config backup didn’t get everything working again. Specifically, the biggest problem seems to be the PPPoE connection from the WAN port to the DSL modem in bridge mode isn’t working. I suspect that certain packages may have been installed by the person who set it up to get everything working just right and those packages were wiped out by the firstboot reset. There was a warning about that being a possibility before the reset was done. Without those packages installed I’m thinking the config backup isn’t able to correctly restore all settings. Might there be a guide someplace for setting up OpenWRT on this particular box? I tried searching for one but had no luck. I thought maybe I could find a list of steps taken and packages needed to be installed by a user that I could use to have the box working again. Maybe a guide for a different but similar box was used?
There are only 2 WatchGuard devices supported on official OpenWRT…
WatchGuard provides their own version of OpenWRT on some of their devices.
I would check their site…
The box I’m trying to get info about seems to be running the x86 or x86-64 version of OpenWRT, a generic firmware I think. Those two listed devices appear to have different processors. I tried going to Watchguard’s site to see what downloads they offer for the box but their downloads page for that particular model, 510, is missing. I sent them a support ticket about it.
If you can SSH in to the device, do the following…
Run this set of commands all at once…
ubus call system board; uci export network; uci export wireless; uci export dhcp; uci export firewall; head -n -0 /etc/firewall.user; ip -4 addr ; ip -4 ro li tab all ; ip -4 ru; ip -6 addr ; ip -6 ro li tab all ; ip -6 ru; ls -l /etc/resolv.* /tmp/resolv.* /tmp/resolv./ ; head -n -0 /etc/resolv.* /tmp/resolv.* /tmp/resolv./*
Copy and paste the output to a text file.
Then run…
opkg list-installed
Copy and paste the output to a text file.
