Hello there,
I'm Davide from Italy, i use openwrt since the "white russian" version" (or maybe even before that) (cant remember the actual number)
and i need help!!!!!
since a recent commit, the Mercusys MB130-4G is supported by a snapshot release.
Here's the link:
https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=b8eba7514643cc6b64d93e3fa7048d6721efbc17
I've flashed it, configured it and now i have the 4g wan interface up.
Up, but not running....
The 4g modem runs in ecm mode and this means the interface is seen as ethernet-over-usb
I've got an ip, a gateway and a dns server... DHCP handshake worked as intended.
and the Openwrt reports an active IPV4 upstream:
IPv4 Upstream
Protocol: DHCP client
Address: 10.12.48.41/8
Gateway: 10.12.48.214
DNS: 114.114.114.114
DNS: 8.8.8.8
Expires: 23h 27m 57s
Connected: 0h 32m 3s
Device: Ethernet Adapter: "usb0"
MAC address: 02:0C:29:A3:9B:6D
but here, luck no more.
I cannot go outside my router, i cant ping, i cant resolve addresses, cant do traceroutes..
ip ro output:
root@OpenWrt:~# ip ro
default via 10.12.48.214 dev usb0 src 10.12.48.41 metric 200
10.0.0.0/8 dev usb0 scope link metric 200
192.168.1.0/24 dev br-lan scope link src 192.168.1.1
at this page:
there's an amazing tutorial on how to get things done with the Quectel modem inside the MB130-4G
i've only corrected my dev id, which is:
root@OpenWrt:~# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2c7c:6005 Android Android
heck, even the name is wrong!
anyhow, the modem responds correctly to ATI command from picocom:
Quectel
EC200A
Revision: EC200AELLAR01A05M16_TP
so there's no doubts about it.
any clues?
firewall setup is "stock openwrt":
