Conduit AEP as cellular router

[Joe RK]

Hi all,

I’m trying to setup a Conduit AP (AEP) to provide internet access to a piece of IP-only equipment, so would like to utilise the on-board router. The gateway is also running as a packet forwarder, through the AEP interface.

I’ve set (under Network Interfaces):

eth0 to LAN with the static IP of 192.168.2.1
ppp0 to WAN and PPP

Now, under DHCP:

I’ve set up a DHCP server on eth0 with gateway of 192.168.2.1, subnet of 192.168.2.0, subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and a lease between 192.168.2.100 and 192.168.1.150.

I’d have thought when applying these settings, allowing for the unit to reboot and then plugging my laptop directly into the LAN port of the gateway I’d be given an IP address, but I wasn’t.

There’s the option for a br0 interface, but I didn’t think I needed that.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

FYI, this is a conduit ap

Hi Joe

Your configuration looks good.
With your laptop plugged into the Conduit can you try bringing up a command
prompt and issuing the command ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew
