I have multiple access points on my network running OpenWRT, and after following the Bridged AP guide to set them up, each time commands ran in the shell were unable to reach the internet.

after looking on forums I found it could be fixed with route. login to your device through ssh and run the following command. my main router is at 192.168.1.1, replace that with yours' address.

# route add default gw 192.168.1.1
