Solved the problem by adding " opkg install kmod-usb-net-cdc-ncm " by ssh. That added " usb0" and once configured it works. Thanks Van Tech enjoying your instructional - well presented videos.
It's totally doable, and in fact I am using it right now. Only problem is the cell limits. I have 2 cellular devices with 2 billing accounts. One gives me like 5MB/s max download speeds and the other 12.
Thank you for this instructional & detailed video. I followed & installed on my Linksys WRT3200ACM running a new installation of OpenWrt ( current Feb 2023 ). Open Wrt is working fine with my wired ethernet - using "WAN" connection. I have added a new interface - " usb tethering" and configured ( while connected to my Google Pixel 7Pro). The options are for Ethernet Switch:"eth0: (usbtethering). No option for " ethernet adapter: "eth0". Although I can connect my phone to my laptop -using the phone with "usb tether" . I can not get the WRT3200ACM to pass the usb phone hot spot into the router? Using the same cable which is good. When I connect my wired connection to the router on WAN port - I get connected to the internet. On CMD line I see media disconnect and can not ping out. Any help would be appreciated. I did see one problem below by another person -Andrea Buttafava -one month ago but did not see a fix. Thanks Dan
Hi i am a complete noob. Can you start with how the router should be connected to pc first? Through WiFi or lan cable.if lan Which port? Internet or in normal 4 other ports?
How can I use easy tether on my Android S9+ & the GL-AR750 Router. I don't want to use the hotspot tether from the T-Moblie Provider. I want to launch easy tether to get it running
I'm struggling using my android as modem using usb tethering. It's easy actually if i use command usb shell to activate the rndis. But, every time the openwrt boot up, i need to use this command. So, i decided to use macro droid to activate automatically usb tethering, and hotspot tether. It works, but only hotspot tethering. Then, i ask chat gpt the command so the openwrt will send adb shell command automatically when the Android or openwrt reboot. But yeah, it's not working. So, now, I'm using usb modem.
Do you think it's possible to USB tether using the android USB Cable connected to USB Female Adapter to RJ45 Male LAN Ethernet? I want share my phones internet to the router but it doesn't have USB port. Thanks. Awesome vids BTW.
I have no idea how to do it and assume you may give a try if you have root access to your phone. USB ethernet to smarphone tethering, yes we can do this but on the other way I haven't found a solution. The easiest way is to start the wifi hotspot on your phone (5 GHz) and set your openwrt as an AP client. It should work well.
I managed to install the packages to get a 2016 iPhone SE (ios 15) to work on my Asus RT-AC51U using USB tether but have an issue where internet through lan or wifi will only open google search pages, if I try to run say speed test it times out and states there is no internet. If I connect the phone via USB direct to my laptop I get 30+ Mbit and speedtest works. If I connect my Android phone via usb to the router with the same sim I get 20+ Mbit either wifi or lan. I have checked the iPhone and made sure Low data mode is turned off. Would this be an issue with ios 15.4? or the interface settings? or an I just missing something? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Hi, - Did you setup DNS forwarding server on the OpenWRT. If not, you can go to Network - DHCP & DNS and configure it there. - If you can share the internet from iPhone to PC via USB cable, the tethering is working fine for the iPhone and it doesn't relate to iOS. - If the above didn't work, can you share the screenshot of the ifconfig & route command of the OpenWRT router?
Hello i have an Nokia 7.1 and i woud like to use its usb port with an USB C-to Rj45 Adaprter, then connect a cable from that port to the wan port of the router with open wrt, is that possible ? my router does not have usb port.
Hi, it depends on your phone, not the router. From the router perspective it is still the ethernet connection to WAN port, you can set it to DHCP client protocol to have a working internet connection.
Hey, I received the same question months ago and I haven't find a way to do that. Bascially it is something to do with your android phone rather then the router.
OK. This is quite professionally made tutorial. It covers all the points. So I'm at the point to ask Mr. Van Tech Corner or anyone else here, who may know, is it possible to make this work on router with 32MB available RAM and only 4MB FLASH memory (which is maybe not sufficient for installation packages?). To be precise, I would like to implement this method on my router TP LINK TL-MR3420, hardware version MR3420 V2, firmware version 3.16.9 Build 150319 Rel.60489n. I would be grateful for someone who knows, for sure, is this possible (and stable after doing the procedure)?
Hi, that is the requirements for latest OpenWRT supports. You can install OpenWRT on the MR3420 v2 but the latest version you can have is 17.01.5. Here is the link to the firmware if you need it openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/tp-link/tp-link_tl-mr3220_v2 and here is the link to the general instruction of the installation for this model openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-mr3420
does this method compare to easytether i have openwrt mini router any trying to get easytether driver on it but im having issues with it but your method seems simple and faster and does it use my regular data not hotspot/tethering data?
I am trying to do the following: Install Openwrt in my Android Phone USB connected to my computer (Linux) so I can connect to the router and use the computer for softphone calls without loss. Is it possible? Is it the same thing?
Using the OpenWRT package manager via LuCI or opkg CLI, install the iptables-mod-ipopt package. Navigate to Network → Firewall → Custom Rules. Add the following line: iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -o usb0 -j TTL --ttl-set 65 Click Restart Firewall to save If necessary, change usb0 to wlan0 (or whichever interface name corresponds to your tether interface.)
Work correctly with tplink wdr3600 , we need only this command: opkg update opkg install kmod-usb-net-rndis When you don't use usb, click stop on usb interface and restart WAN interface
Hi, this Huawei e5577 can work as a USB modem, so it should work with OpenWRT. You can try to to follow this guide and just in case it does not work, I will assist you further.
Hi, bro im not able to install the opkg's. i get this: The package kmod-nls-base kmod-usb-core kmod-usb-net kmod-usb-net-cdc-ether kmod-usb2 is not available in any configured repository.
Before this command, you need to have working internet connection (WAN) and run the opkg update first, only then you can install these packages. If it still doesn't work, it is something wrong with your OpenWRT build (outdated version or snapshot build for example) and you need to find a way to troubleshoot further
@@VanTechCorner Ah i see.. is there also a way i can tether the mobile hotspot to the router without USB? And then share the connection via router. Thanks flr your reply btw :)
