Problem getting pi4 to share 5ghat connection

Installing and Using OpenWrt
#1

Hi everyone I am having a problem with setting up openwrt on a raspberry pi 4 using a simcomm 8200 card.

I have a connection to the internet through the simcomm card that is accessible on the pi but I am having trouble getting that connection to be accessible to devices connected on the eth port.

My current network config looks like this

interfaces

config interface 'loopback'
	option ifname 'lo'

and I have followed this guide

which has taken me up to the point of getting connected to the network but am currently stuck on this last step so any help would be appreciated.

Is LAN a member of br-lan ?

This is how it looks on my device (not a RPi though)

You deleted the lan->wan forwarding in the firewall, restore it. Also delete the interface bridge from the wan zone. Finally consider assigning a static IP on the lan interface, as getting address from dhcp might cause conflicts.

For the LAN to drive other devices, it needs to be static IP (usually x.x.x.1) and run a DHCP server.

This is in the default configuration. All you need to do starting from defaults is to add the 5G network and add it to the wan firewall zone. Don't change the LAN network and don't change anything else in the firewall.

Thank you so much , I will be doing a write up guide for the set up since there where a few gotachs.

What a great community openwrt has :)!

Thanks everyone in the thread
