Mudi 7 as a WAN Bridge/Modem (IP Passthough)

My use case is as follows:

When I am at home, I wish to use my Mudi 7 as a 5G modem for my home network, when I am out I wish to use it as a Travel Router.

I currently have a Unifi UCG-Fiber this has a Multi WAN mode, I have my Fibre connection is the Main WAN port and then I have a Netgear LM1200 LTE modem plugged in as a backup WAN.

the Netgear Lm1200 is in Bridge mode:

“In Bridge mode, only a single device can be connected to the Internet through the modem. This device can be a computer, router, or WiFi router. In Bridge mode, Network Address Translation (NAT) is disabled, the DHCP server is disabled, and IP pass-through (IPPT) is enabled.”

This mode assigns the IP address I get from the mobile LTE signal directly to the UCG-Fiber.

I would like to be able to do a similar thing from my Mudi 7, i.e. use it as a 5G modem similar to the UniFi 5G Max.

Before:

After:

I can see that IP Passthrough is availble in beta for some routers, but can it be done on the Mudi 7?

Same situation here.

Would be brillant to use it as failover WAN with UniFi when at home.

Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. Unfortunately Mudi 7 doesn't support Cellular IP passthrough at the moment. We will consider your suggestion and feedback to the product manager for evaluation

Can the Mudi 7 use the patch that was created by GL,Inet for the Spitz/Puli AX cellular routers for IP Passthrough. I have used the Puli AX with this patch for IP Passthrough successfully. I would expect the Mudi-7 using the same firmware could also take advantage of the patch. I have a Mudi-7 on order and would like to try this when I receive it but not anxious to brick the product either.

That would be so great. Please implement IP Passthrough! :raising_hands: Having this device act as WAN-Failover while not travelling would be a gamechanger.
