I have a GL-X750 (on 3.215) which works fine over 4G through its internal modem. However I can’t get it to run it as a repeater for a local wifi service. It connects and logs in to the wifi network but I don’t think it is routing to the correct upstream router: ```auto root@Nerdvana_GW:~# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 10.128.63.254 0.0.0.0 UG 20 0 0 wlan-sta 10.128.48.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.240.0 U 20 0 0 wlan-sta 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br-lan root@Nerdvana_GW:~# traceroute 1.1.1.1 traceroute to 1.1.1.1 (1.1.1.1), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets 1 10.128.48.1 (10.128.48.1) 2.671 ms 3.132 ms 5.342 ms 2 10.128.48.1 (10.128.48.1) 4.764 ms !A 2.497 ms !A 8.509 ms !A root@Nerdvana_GW:~# ``` I don’t understand how or why the first hop goes to 10.128.48.1, instead of to 10.128.63.254. This behaviour is consistent, either with mwan3 running or not. Any and all suggestions welcome! Cheers ---

can you show info about ifconfig? It seems that the wifi network you connect to advertise gateway as 10.128.63.254 ---

Hi Alzhao !! I’m including the full ifconfig below. Yes: I think 10.128.63.254 is the correct gateway and I can’t understand how or why anything goes to 10.128.48.1. I suspect it’s something to do with the /20 address space instead of the more common /24. But I cant’ guess why it happens (only?) in this case. ```auto root@Nerdvana_GW:/etc# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 10.128.63.254 0.0.0.0 UG 20 0 0 wlan-sta 10.128.48.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.240.0 U 20 0 0 wlan-sta 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br-lan root@Nerdvana_GW:/etc# ifconfig br-lan Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 94:83:C4:00:0B:39 inet addr:192.168.2.1 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4738967 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6334374 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:874049880 (833.5 MiB) TX bytes:2716476778 (2.5 GiB) eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 94:83:C4:00:0B:39 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4551799 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6213030 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:924283174 (881.4 MiB) TX bytes:2712370005 (2.5 GiB) Interrupt:5 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:2604 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2604 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:224746 (219.4 KiB) TX bytes:224746 (219.4 KiB) wlan-sta Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 94:83:C4:00:0B:3A inet addr:10.128.56.195 Bcast:10.128.63.255 Mask:255.255.240.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:394 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:64 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:44102 (43.0 KiB) TX bytes:9009 (8.7 KiB) wlan1-1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 96:83:C4:00:0B:3A UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:698 (698.0 B) root@Nerdvana_GW:/etc# ``` ---

So the problem now is that you have no internet via repeater? Maybe just a captive portal is there. ---
