Unfortunately, the OpenWRT device isn’t idiot proof. My dad disconnected the WAN (and LAN connection) which was connected via the USB adapter. Somehow, the drivers got scrambled and uninstalled. And the PPPOE option disappeared completely from the user interface.
So… I reflashed the image to the SD card. That didn’t work. Then I restored the device’s factory defaults, which restored the PPPOE connection option. Then I restored my settings from a backup.
Then, I had to connect another router with an internet connection to the OpenWRT router, so that it had an internet connection (which it needs to download drivers / required files). Then, I was able to reinstall the USB drivers and restore the WAN connection. Phew.
He was only trying to help though, as he was just installing a new case which runs silently (The loud case fan was bothering my brother :D, who said he was going to remove it). Could do without the drama…
