Using Redmi note 12 RNDIS

[nitinjs]

I am trying to use TP-Link Archer C5 V4 with Android through USB
My phone is Redmi note 12

I followed this guide: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wan/smartphone.usb.tethering

when I fire dmesg I am able to get

[    3.955680] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci-platform
[   19.294948] usbcore: registered new interface driver rndis_host

however I do not see ethX or usb0 in devices list

help, my only aim is to use usb rndis internet on router

Please show the output of cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices

Show lsusb when phone is connected. In general screen has to be unlocked and tethering option enabled as long as data connection is used.

Not bad so far. Disconnect the phone, run logread -f then reconnect the phone and make sure thethering is enabled, etc. like @brada4 said. Give it a few moments to run and post the log data collected.

restarted both phone and router again
