Make sure the usb and LAN IP are DIFFERENT networks. 192.168.41.xxx (or whatever) on the usb0 and the LAN IP needs to be, example 192.168.40.xxx.
Some devices aren’t assigned a USB network address by mfg so they pick it up from the first connection they receive. Mainly for plug n play compatibility. The problem is the router places them on the same network and that causes routing issues.
After setting that you’ll have DNS issues and won’t get a solid outside connection. You need to place the DNS as the gateway IP. The gateway is the phone itself. Use the gli Internet connection setting page to get the GATEWAY (NOT THE PHONE IP) and copy that into the “custom DNS” settings page.
If you still don’t have an outside connection then place the gli router, example from earlier “192.168.41.1” (or whatever you chose for that router IP) into the DMZ (on the gli, placing the gli into ITS OWN DMZ!) to open all the ports automatically.
Lastly, because I’m a nugget for doing this all the time, make sure your mobile Internet is connected on the tethered phone and all WiFi is off! Helps A LOT!
LET ME KNOW!
Ps, and yes I did sign up JUST to help you on this. I had the same issue yesterday.
