Looking for help setting up an isolated network within my apartment complex’s network. I have a Linksys router running OpenWrt, with the ethernet connection from my aprtment running to the uplink port on the router. When I SSH into the router, it has WAN access, but none of the LAN devices connected to it (by ethernet or wireless) do. Anyone have any experience with this?

    One other thing I forgot is to verify a LAN device can ping the router IP, but I’m guessing you’ve already verified that. This is starting to sound like a FW issue

    It’s been years since I setup my openwrt router, but here is some advice verifying your FW config

    tl;dr Your WAN interface may be defined as ‘wan’ in your FW rules, since ‘WAN’ != ‘wan’ - correcting the case may solve the issue
