How to solve the issue of not being able to update the software package list on OpenWRT?

If OpenWrt cannot update the software package list, you can try the following solutions: 1. Check the network connection: make sure the device is properly connected to the internet, you can try using the ping command to test the network connection. 2. Check DNS settings: verify that the device’s DNS settings are correct, you can try using a different reliable DNS server. 3. Check software source configuration: make sure the software source configuration is correct. In the OpenWrt web interface, you can check the software source configuration in System -> Software -> Configuration Options. 4. Clear cache: try clearing the cache of the software package list, you can SSH login to the OpenWrt device and execute the following command:

rm -rf /tmp/* && opkg update

5. Check storage space: Make sure the device has enough storage space to store the package list and downloaded packages. You can check the storage space by running the df command.
6. Use alternate software sources: If the default software source is not functioning properly, try using other reliable software sources. You can add a new software source in the system -> package -> configuration options in the OpenWrt web interface. If the above methods do not resolve the issue, it may be due to other reasons. Try re-flashing the OpenWrt firmware or consult the official OpenWrt forum or community for more help and solutions.
