Hello, i am trying to install things into my router. when i try to run command ipkg install screen i am getting

Failed to download screen. Perhaps you need to run 'ipkg update'?

hello, does anyone have a clue to why this is going on?

Can you check if there's a default route?
Happened to me too.

In other words, if you enter the route command, check that there is a line that reads something like:


Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default gw_ip_address 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 br0

I will check sometimes tomorrow about the route . if it is not present what should i do? were do i add that line if it does not exist ? because i formatted and flashed the router twice with no luck. but i will check that asap! thanks for getting back to me...seems no one was responding.

If the default route is missing, you need to add it:

route add default gw <gateway's IP address>

when things are working OK, save your changes:

flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable && reboot

hey, this is what my route states

"default 76-206-252-1.li 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 " thanks.

[EdP]

OK so you did actually 'ipkg update' right?

[Fullback]

Well, what can I say, follow the Wiki (http://webtools.wl500g.info/wiki/doku.php?id=docs:howtoipkgonasus) perhaps?
Did that myself and it works.
