So I'm running OpenWRT on a D-Link DWR-921
I have the LTE interface setup as per the instructions here:
To enable the wireless network connectivity the following UCI command shall be executed once:
uci set network.wwan=interface
uci set network.wwan.proto='wwan'
uci set network.wwan.apn='<your provider apn>'
uci set network.wwan.pincode='<your sim pin code>'
uci set network.wwan.auto='0'
uci commit network
please replace the placeholder with your real data.
uci set firewall.@zone[1].network='wan wwan wan6'
uci commit firewall
and at the next reboot you can enable/disable the connection using the following commands:
ifup wwan / ifdown wwan
This has been working perfectly for me for sometime. Now I have moved location to an apartment that has a cable router. I would like to configure my OpenWrt router to take advantage of load balancing over the LTE connection and the WAN port connected to my cable router.
I installed mwan3 and attempted to configure this, but i'm struggling to actually get this working. Any help or advice would be gratefully appreciated as I cant seem to find a clear document that explains this.
Yeah I read through this but to be quite honest it really doesn't make much sense...I tried to create the second wan interface though a vlan, but the documentation just isn't that clear.
Documentation is very good. Please, ask basic questions. You don't need vlan, because you already had two independent interfaces. Check configuration file /etc/config/mwan3, let's start with it.
Ok, so lets go back to basics here...So in order to ensure that my interfaces are actually working, I first removed mwan3.
I then connected to my router and tested the first WAN interface.
ping -c 1 -I wwan0 www.yahoo.com
PING www.yahoo.com (87.248.98.7): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 87.248.98.7: seq=0 ttl=49 time=81.134 ms
Ok so we are working on this interface.
I think my problem is that the second WAN interface is not coming up at all. So I guess my first question is, how do I get the WAN port working on the router?
Its the Wired WAN interface, the router has 1 Ethernet WAN port and 1 - 4 Lan ports. My idea was to connect the WAN port via Ethernet to my cable router...
