I have a usb LTE/4G dongle that is plugged in. It gets added as a interface, eth1. Want to be able to set it as the wan device.
I have changed it manualy in the LuCI interface, under network, interfaces, wan. The mobile apps shows no internet. SSH to the pi and it also has no internet.
Would it be possible to add a feature to set the wan to use either eth0 or eth1 ?
Ok - at the moment I have particularly tested USB modems so it’s not quite supported
But the firmware is OpenWrt so I think that guides from there on how to get a USB modem online/working should also apply on this firmware. If you’re running a Pi5 that’s a snapshot build meaning not 100% of OpenWrt packages are working yet, but Pi4 is stable.
I think later it would be a good addition to have more support, or even app support, for USB 4G dongles or USB smartphone tethering - so will log it as a feature request for future development
Had a quick look at the link and that is not the same. I plugged the usb dongle in and it comes up as an ethernet divice. WIthout me doing anything.
From luci
This is where I changed it, under network, interfaces on luci
I am sure using a phone tethering, would do the same, or atleast from what I have seen. On windows/linux it setups a ehternet interface. eth0 is the physical lan port and eth1 is the usb that creates an ethernet port.
