The typical steps for setting up internet access on OpenWrt usually include:

  1. Connect to an OpenWrt device: Connect to the OpenWrt device either through Ethernet (using a cable connected to the router) or Wi-Fi (using a wireless connection).
  2. Configure the WAN interface: In the OpenWrt web interface, navigate to the “Network” -> “Interfaces” page, locate the WAN interface (usually eth0 or eth1), and click the “Edit” button to configure it.
  3. Configure the connection type of the WAN interface: Based on the information provided by your network provider, select the appropriate connection type. Common connection types include static IP, DHCP, PPPoE, and so on.
  4. Set up the IP address and DNS servers for the WAN interface according to the information provided by your network provider. You can locate these settings in the configuration page of the WAN interface.
  5. Apply and Restart: Click on the “Save & Apply” button to save the configuration changes, and then restart the OpenWrt device to apply the changes.

After completing the steps above, your OpenWrt device should be able to connect to the internet.
