This probably means your computer has no IP assigned to it (it normally gets assigned it's IP by DHCP from the router -- but if the router is in failsafe/recovery mode or similar it might not be handing out IP's. So configure a static IP on your computer according to the guidelines of your operating system. Since the router is most likely 192.168.1.1, you'll want to configure your static IP to 192.168.1.10 or something similar. Netmask should be 255.255.255.0 and you can choose 192.168.1.1 as default gateway if you want. Remember to connect the computer to a LAN port. If you get back up and running with OpenWRT, my advice would be to revert your PC's static IP and using dynamically assigned IP's (DHCP) instead.
