I cannot SSH to Router after installing Entware Packages

[Mahmut Bayülgen]

I installed entware package to install qbittorrernt. It works but i tried it from USB drive which is 8 gb. So i wanted to use a HDD 1 TB for it i make partitions linux swam, ext4 and exfat for  it. And i wanted to fresh install to hdd but if i disconnect the usb i cannot ssh to router so i cannot install Entware to HDD. i can use telnet but this work for nothing so you cannot install entware to a new hdd Could anyone have an idea to solve this?

Please check out this KB article: https://help.keenetic.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021214160-Installing-the-Entware-repository-package-system-on-a-USB-drive

You don't need an SSH connection to actually install the Entware. You should be able to connect to the Entware shell via SSH once it is installed on your new drive.
