    Limited Internet Zccess RT-AC88U with USB Modem

    Okay. I'm good with that. Here's the latest: I manually set all my device IP connections rather than relying on DHCP servers and everything is working. Thanks Colin for your help.

    Apart from all the rest, everything is working fine booted to Windows. But I hate Windows, so I have to figure out the problem with Ubuntu.

    Limited Internet Zccess RT-AC88U with USB Modem

    I understand, but that was the option inside the asus network tools. Okay, so now I've booted to Windows 10, and everything is working as it should. Now, I'm wondering if my network stack within Ubuntu is hosed up. I'm going to boot to a fresh Ubuntu install and see what happens.

    Limited Internet Zccess RT-AC88U with USB Modem

    Here's another interesting thing: When connected to the asus router, which is connected via USB to an internet hotspot, and I issue the following nslookup command from my Ubuntu shell: nslookup 8.8.8.8 ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached Then without changing anything, I go...

    Limited Internet Zccess RT-AC88U with USB Modem

    nslookup 8.8.8.8 8.8.8.8.in-addr.arpa name = dns.google. The above is the result of the nslookup. As you can see, it now returns dns.google. I changed to dns settings to the recommended openDNS IPs, and the above is what it returned. I've been testing all of this from both the Asus router...

    Limited Internet Zccess RT-AC88U with USB Modem

    Ok, thanks again. The USB modem is not just a modem, but a hotspot with it's own limited router OS. I don't believe that is a problem as the asus router is connecting fine with it. So it remains a DNS problem. I'll try some different name servers. Directly connected to the hotspot router...

    Limited Internet Zccess RT-AC88U with USB Modem

    Thanks Colin for the response. Changing the subnet didn't help. A different subnet is what I had already. I can ping the USB modem, and internet IPs and return data. So at least my shell is getting through, just none of my browsers, they don't resolve the host which leads me to believe it is...

    Limited Internet Zccess RT-AC88U with USB Modem

    Router: Asus RT-AC88U Firmware: 386.7_2 The RT-AC88U router allows internet access via a USB modem, and a guest WiFi connection, but not a regular 2.4 or 5 GHz WiFi connection, or a direct Ethernet connection. All connections have worked in the past, but not for the last few firmware updates...

    Asus RT-AC88U USB cellular modem internet good with wireless no good from ethernet

    OK, well it was as simple as as changing to the correct gateway ip address for the ethernet adapter. Couldn't have been simpler.

    Asus RT-AC88U USB cellular modem internet good with wireless no good from ethernet

    Good internet with wireless clients, no internet with ethernet-connected clients. Lan is working fine from wired clients, and can ping other wired clients. So, why would wireless work, and not wired? Any ideas appreciated.

    dnsmasq

    Hello and just learning about dnsmasq. I've modified /etc/host files in various Linux distros for years, but never implemented dnsmasq capabilities. I have followed the instructions found in the article "Custom domains with dnsmasq," and added "address=..." configs to various local domain...
