Installed Openwrt LEDE (17.01.7, r4030-6028f00df0) on my MR3020 and want to use the router as an LTE modem.
I go through all the steps in the Doc (https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wan/wwan/ethernetoverusb_rndis) and I am able to access the web interface of the dongle when typing ssh -L 8080:192.168.1.1:80 root@your-openwrt-ip into the terminal and finally opening the localhost page of the remote computer.
However I can not access the web interface when I access the web interface of the dongle directly, e.g. 192.168.1.1.
Any idea why this is not possible? Tried to modify the routing table but w/o success.
Thanks for help
Since the dongle (a WAN host) is 192.168.1.1, the router's LAN needs to be other than the default 192.168.1.0/24. Change it to 192.168.2.1 for example.
Hi MK24,
thanks a lot for your help.
I changed the IP Address of the router to 192.168.2.111 and activated the WIFI as an access point and selecting both networks: LAN and WAN, whereas LAN is the connection to the local network and WAN would be the connection via my LTE USB stick.
If I connect to the WIFI I can access the internet via LAN. So far so good.
I than added the WAN interface which should represent the LTE USB Stick. The Web-Host on the USB stick has the address 192.168.0.1. Hence there should be no clash of the IP addresses.
This is what the WAN Interface looks like:
Uptime:* 0h 0m 34s
MAC-Address: 36:4B:50:B7:EF:DA
RX: 1.65 KB (26 Pkts.)
TX: 1.88 KB (21 Pkts.)
IPv4: 192.168.0.111/24
I set the gateway and DNS server Ip to 192.168.0.1 to match the address of the LTE stick.
I am not an openwrt and network expert at all but this setting should allow to access the LTE stick on address 192.168.0.1 but i am not able to access the LTE stick at all.
Is there anything I did wrong in the setting of the WAN interface?
Thanks for your help
Don't put a physical device in more than one network. WiFi and Ethernet in lan, USB modem in wan.
Hi Mike,
thanks for the hint. I keep the
- LAN device in one network (lan)
- WAN (including the LTE Dongle) in wan and wifi
- WiFi in wan
Not sure if this is what you've proposed but now it works!!!
I can access the router config (LEDE interface) only via ethernet (lan), but not via Wifi.
Instead I can access the Web interface of the LTE dongle via WiFi only @192.168.0.1.
This is perfectly fine for me.
Thanks a lot for the swift response and help!!!

++can access LEDE interface as well as the LTE dongle Web interface when I connect the LAN of the router to my laptop!
Move the wifi to lan.
