I set a static IP address for my Onion2+. Once I do that, I seem to no longer have internet access.
Local wireless router is 192.168.1.1
Static IP needed for the Onion is 192.168.1.202

Somehow, I seem to have set this up wrong. Any help appreciated !

ifconfig and /etc/config/network shown below

@Jim-W It looks ok to me, so I wonder if the issue is your DNS. Can you ping 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 ?

If receive a response then this is s DNS setup issue. When you use a static IP your're not using DHCP protocol which not only provides your IP but also provides your DNS configuration. Edit /etc/resolv.conf and add your DNS configuration here. If you're not sure which DNS to use you can use Google's which are the IPs I asked you to ping above. Like so:

Interface wwan

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
search localdomain

@crispyoz

root@Omega-5F4C:~# ping 8.8.8.8
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Network unreachable
root@Omega-5F4C:~#

Strange. I edited the resolv.conf to be

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
search local domain

and saved it. Just to check I did a cat /etc/resolv.conf and is came back correctly.

I rebooted the machine. Still wont ping. Checked resolv.conf and is has been changed back to its original

search lan
nameserver 127.0.0.1

??
Still cannot ping 8.8.8.8
Looks like something is overwriting resolv.conf at reboot?

@Jim-W The resolv.conf being overwitten will be caused by dnsmasq but if you can't ping then that is the issue that need to be sorted.

Can you ping 192.168.1.1 ?

Please post /etc/config/wireless and the output of route -e

@crispyoz

Could not ping 192.168.1.1
However, found a solution in post Setting DNS with static IP config (not sure how I missed it in my initial search).

Changes wwan to

config interface 'wwan'
option ifname 'apcli0'
option proto 'static'
option hostname 'Omega-XXXX'
option ipaddr '192.168.1.202'
option netmask '255.255.255.0'
option gateway '192.168.1.1'
option dns '8.8.8.8'

and added a line to rc.local

route add default gw 192.168.1.1

That seemed to do the trick. I can ping the www (and more importantly the ntp server I needed to get the time from).

Thank you for your assistance

@Jim-W The configuration changes you show are correct, personally I prefer to place them in the wireless config but either is fine. Adding the route to rc.local is not required.
