Routing IP Through LTE Interface on 8900AX-2400

Post by DarkSpectrum »

I recently purchased a Billion 8900AX-2400 so I can run a dual WAN setup (ADSL & 4G). I would like to route all traffic from one IP on my network through the 4G interface and all other traffic through the ADSL. I have tried policy based routing but it didn't work. I cannot use Interface Grouping because all the wired network is connected to the router via one port/cable. How can I configure this setup?

Tested and working here see attached screen shots, based off firmware 2.52.d17 (firmware can be found on the attached link viewtopic.php?f=20&t=12298)

I agree it should be an easy configuration but it is not working see attached screen shots. I can confirm the PCs IP address is 192.168.1.27. I am on firmware 2.52.d21.

Are you based in Australia?? (as firmware version 2.52.d21 is for AU market, and hence we Billion UK can't comment on that firmware, we have our own firmware)

Is your 4G connection up and running?? You need to double check under 'Status >> WAN' that your 4G shows a active IPv4 address, and also your 4G connection is listed under 'Advanced Setup >> Routing >> Default Gateway (the 3G/4G LTE connection should be listed under Selected Default Gateway Interfaces, and also listed below the PPPoA interface, in order

eg
1. PPPoA
2. 3G/4G LTE

Yes, I am based in Australia? It seems like the 4G connection is up and running:
1. Enabled and tested successfully the failover feature from ADSL to 4G. Failover now disabled.
2. However, no IPv4 in for 4G Status > WAN (see attached)
3. But 4G is listed in Advanced Setup > Routing > Default Gateway (see attached)

4G modem/router is the Netgear AirCard 810s.

You need to edit your 4G wan settings and untick the 'Dial on demand' option found at the top of the page, this should disable failover, and the 4G connection should connect, once connected you should then be able to route through the 4G interface

Thank you! Worked a treat :P

Is there a way to route all traffic on the 5ghz Wi-Fi through the 4G WAN? I tried a policy routing rule as follows but the Billion advised it could not create the rule:

Policy Name 4G_PC_5GHZ
Source IP 192.168.1.21/27 (DHCP Range starts at 192.168.1.20 so trying to capture .20-.127)
LAN Port wireless-5g (the SSID of the 5ghz Wi-Fi)
WAN 3G/4G LTE

Can you post a screen capture of error you got when trying to add the rule??

Np, it is pretty generic, unfortunately.

Strange I was able to add a similar rule here, so it might be a firmware issue.
