Usb Android tethering no internet

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

Hi, I follow this guide https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wan/smartphone.usb.tethering to connect my android phone to openwrt.
All is ok but I have no internet... What can be the problem??
Device is TG799vac v2 OpenWrt Chaos Calmer 15.05.1 / LuCI (git-16.043.44305-e2f9172)

Thanks

Chaos Calmer is past its EOL date and is both not supported and known insecure.

Instructions for current releases are often not supported by older releases, especially that far in the past.

Further, the TG799vac does not seem to be a supported device, but running the OEM's custom firmware. Even though it may say "OpenWrt" on device, as OpenWrt is relatively freely licensed, OEM often take it as a base for their firmware and modify it as they see fit. The end result is often incompatible with the upstream OpenWrt source.

There are several posts that I recall about Technicolor's unwillingness to supply GPL sources.

I get it work, just modifying the wan connection by choosing the usb0 instead of eth.
Thanks anyway
