Troubleshooting

This guide explains how to resolve problems you may encounter when using the Mudfish Game Router.

Router LED​

With Mudfish firmware, the LED is red by default. A red LED does not mean the router is faulty.

To change when the LED turns on, turns off, or blinks, open System -> LED Configuration.

Wi-Fi​

Wi-Fi is disabled by default for security. Its initial configuration uses an open network, so set a password when you enable it.

Open Network -> Wireless and enable Generic 802.11 bgn Wireless Controller. The default SSID is usually OpenWRT.

Internet connection​

The following steps address problems connecting to the Internet through the router's WAN port.

Devices cannot access the Internet through the WAN port​

If computers, smartphones, or game consoles connected through the LAN ports or Wi-Fi cannot access the Internet, try the following:

  1. Turn on the Mudfish Game Router and open the LuCI administration UI, usually at http://192.168.1.1.
  2. Open Services -> Mudfish.
  3. Under Basic Configuration -> Basic, click Stop if Mudfish is running.
  4. Click Save & Apply at the bottom right.
  5. Wait a few seconds, then turn the router off completely and turn it back on.

The router now works as a regular Internet router. Check whether the WAN connection still fails.

If the problem persists, possible causes include:

  • A problem with the Internet connection plugged into the WAN port, or failure to obtain an IP address from the upstream router.
  • A hardware fault in the Mudfish Game Router. A return or repair may be needed.
  • A firmware problem that prevents the internal configuration from being applied correctly.

If stopping Mudfish restores Internet access, try the following:

  • If Full VPN mode is enabled, your ISP may be blocking the ports used by Mudfish. Follow the Connection Protocol guide to try different protocols and determine which ports are open.
  • Turn off Full VPN mode and configure only the items you need.
