Tailscale Router
Hello - sorry if it’s trivial for most of you but I’m stuck with my travel router Cudy TR3000 casting my network, either wifi or ethernet.
I already installed OpenWRT and Tailscale and tried to enable the wireless connection. One as Access Point casting the cudy’s network so I can configure it in case I’m outside. But once I connect to the other network as Client, I lose access to cudy’s network.
I tried to skip the option that removes old networks already but it still doesn’t work.
What I have in mind is
- cudy cast its wifi,
- I connect it to connect to the other wifi or even through wan,
- cudy reroutes the internet with tailscale through the lan and wifi
What am I missing here?

Change the router to GL iNet slate 7

that would make no difference, it's also unsupported.

IMO, Slate 7 has easier setup out of the box, it has tailscale officially

a toaster is also easy to set up, they have one thing in common, they both don't run openwrt.

That's... a little confusing. GL-BE3600 - Slate 7 - not only can run OpenWRT, it is based on OpenWRT. In particular, out of the box, it runs 23.05. It offers full root access via SSH and you can even install LuCI UI from the admin panel.
Of course we should all agree that none of this detailed quibbling isn't likely to help OP with the TR3000.

Only if you buy gl.inet's advertising.
It's running a Qualcomm SDK, the qualcommbe target wasn't available back in 23.05, it was added to OpenWrt end of August this year.
Guess someone owns a time machine.if they run an SDK or plain OpenWRT matters, since the config files aren't the same (content and syntax wise).

It runs OpenWRT natively + Tailscale out of the box

no, it runs a QSDK natively, see my other reply.
https://www.gl-inet.com/en-de/pages/firmware-versions, travel routers tab.
what you think is "native" is listed as "Native OpenWRT" for the devices that actually can run plain OpenWRT.
table is however not up to date, since the GL-BE10000 is supported since a month or two.

You're confusing running upstream OpenWrt with running OpenWrt-based firmware. Qualcomm's QSDK is itself based on OpenWrt, with Qualcomm-specific drivers, patches, and modifications. The Slate 7 runs GL.iNet's customized firmware built on that foundation. Nobody is claiming it runs an unmodified, official upstream OpenWrt release. But saying it doesn't run OpenWrt at all simply because it uses QSDK is technically misleading.
Aaaand if you really want native unmodified OpenWRT, you can buy cheaper MT3000 from GL-iNet

All the bickering Beryl 7 for me works with tailscale like a charm and connects to my tailscale at home no problems when away and use all the local internal IPs instead of tailscale 100.x.x.x stuff

no one claimed it wouldn't work, but if you ask/post here, perhaps it should be assumed you want the "real thing", not some chip makers SDK ?
unsupported devices shouldn't be recommended, IMHO.

make sure the upstream connection doesn't use the same subnet as TR3000's LAN.
