Title: Urgent HELP please lost my whole Network and trying to get to console window.
Post by: Thorrrr on January 03, 2025, 09:42:13 AM
Hello Guys
 
Firstly i  made a mistake with config so its my fault lol (brain fart)

So i assigned a NIC port to the IP address of my Wifi Router

I have 192.168.23.1 = Opnsesne and 192.168.23.2 Nighthawk Wifi Router running DDWRT

I have a backup of my config  but i have lost my total Network no access to webui.
So i have connected my Zimaboard to a monitior and keyboard but on boot i cannot stop it loading.
When it gets to option console menu i hit the keyboard but nothing stops the load!
Is there a key combo i need to stop it?

Also i have root user turned off for security reason the use i have is full admin but i think still does not have the powers of root

Any ideas how to quickly get back i am on the router now that comes with Plusnet Hub 2 for full fibre
But no idea if i would access the unit

Reinstall, then restore your backup config. For the future, use os-auto-recovery-community and activate before making critical changes.

Never heard of use os-auto-recovery-community and activate before making critical changes.

Is this in the docs?

It is in the mimugmail community repository (https://www.routerperformance.net/opnsense-repo/), along with many other useful packages.
