I had Phicomm N1 Router and no user 2 years, today I want to make it as Secondary Router, because I am in China mainland can't visit some foregine website , only can throught VPN to visit.
Frist I connect N1 to main Router LAN port and visit it with 192.168.123.200 but can't ping with my windows pc, then I connect N1 with a Portable Screen in CLI,I enter ifconfig showing IP address is 192.168.123.200 and gateway is 192.168.123.1 but can't ping with 192.168.123.1, so I change /etc/config/network like this:
But whether I using static or dhcp the os can't get IP address, I reboot and /etc/init.d/network restart many times is invalid,my screenshot and Network topology diagram is below , someone can help me ,thanks a lot!
you don't show us anything about the wan port, but if it's still on the 192.168.123 subnet, you're good to go, and you're running it as a router, as suggested 10 days ago.
