          That means it cant find the internet…...

          Check your routing table and gateway. Are those specified?

            That ip-adress is the local ip at my parents house.

            At routeing table there are alot of ip-adresses. including my ISP, localhost, tunnel networks, remote networks.

              Is the WAN running DHCP or static IP?

                    default gateway on WAN interface is:  81.227.120.XXX
                    default system gateway is: 192.168.0.1

                    If I understand i'm not using the correct gateway?

                    my LAN subnet is: 192.168.1.0/24

                      I changed to my ISP default gateway and now it works!!

                      Thanks for the help!

                      But, what if my ISP changes default gateway. Cant I use DHCP there?

                        Huh? What are you doing there? Why are you messing with the DHCP assigned WAN gateway? What "default system gateway" are you configuring where?

                          Hi Doktornotor.

                          In system -> routing.

                          There I have "WANGW (default)", the gateway there was 192.168.0.1
                          I changed it to the gateway my WAN-interface have.

                            I really do not get what you are doing. There should be exactly zero need to configure anything there. Just configure the WAN interface properly.

                              How should I configure my WAN-interface? I use DHCP and nothing more is used except for the private networks blocks.

                                Leave it on DHCP and don't touch any options that could change the DHCP assigned gateway, simple as that.

                                  As said above - leave the default gateway as dynamic and delete whatever redundant/incorrect GWs mess you created manually.

                                    Yes, the question here is: where did 192.168.0.1 come from?
                                    Since it's not your LAN subnet and not an IP your ISP would be handing out, do you have other internal interfaces? VPN perhaps?
                                    One possibility is that your WAN is a cable connection and that you have a cable modem that hands out private IPs when it can't see the ISP. If that is the case you can prevent it happening by selecting IP addresses to refuse int he dhcp setup.
