Before you start

Router proxies involve DNS, routes and firewall rules. Back up the configuration and keep local management access.

Step by step

  1. Check the official status or announcement page at https://openwrt.org/. A help page is not necessarily a live status monitor.
  2. Reproduce the OpenWrt issue on one exit and record its time, code, stage and duration.
  3. Resolve the same name on the router and a client. Check the DNS supplied by DHCP and the LAN management address.
  4. Compare wired, Wi-Fi or another network while changing only one condition.
  5. If the app is slow but the browser works, compare app and system proxy settings for duplication.
  6. Router proxies involve DNS, routes and firewall rules. Back up the configuration and keep local management access.

Common questions

Can switching networks fix every OpenWrt error?

No. Account privileges, subscriptions, file permissions and service outages require separate checks.

What should I send to support?

Share the time, client version, redacted error code and minimal reproduction. Never share a password, token, cookie or one-time code.
