Re: Reconnect Piratebox to internet

Hello!

The default IP address of the PirateBox after install is 192.168.1.1. So if your home router is 192.168.2.1 then it is not on the same subnet as your PirateBox.

You should change the IP of your PirateBox (temporarily) to 192.168.2.111 (really 192.168.2.x) and make sure the gateway option is 192.168.2.1

You can check the official guide again, there is the same setup as yours with the home router being 192.168.2.1

So your /etc/config/network would look something like:

config interface 'loopback'                                                               
        option ifname 'lo'                                                                
        option proto 'static'                                                             
        option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'                                                         
        option netmask '255.0.0.0'                                                        

config interface 'lan'                                                                    
        option ifname 'eth0'                                                              
        option type 'bridge'                                                              
        option proto 'static'                                                             
        option ipaddr '192.168.2.111'                                                       
        option netmask '255.255.255.0'                                                    
        option gateway '192.168.2.1'                                                     
        list dns '192.168.2.1'                                                           
        list dns '8.8.8.8'

After changing the IP, reboot the router. Connect the PB to your home router. Connect to home network and ssh t the PB's IP addres as per set above (in this case 192.168.2.111)

I would suggest to restore the original IP settings after you have finished updating packages, just to be on the safe side.
