Looking for help setting up an isolated network within my apartment complex’s network. I have a Linksys router running OpenWrt, with the ethernet connection from my aprtment running to the uplink port on the router. When I SSH into the router, it has WAN access, but none of the LAN devices connected to it (by ethernet or wireless) do. Anyone have any experience with this?

Have you tried pinging a known external IP (e.g. 8.8.8.8) to see if it's visible from the LAN devices? It could be something as simple as DNS not being setup correctly. Also, have you verified that the LAN devices are being assigned an address?
