    Connect LAN to WAN through PC

    I bought an Asus AC87 for £300 is there another router that is more "proper"? The problem has twofold, things not working, and bandwidth utilisation. Not working: - USB 3G dongle in router - USB 3G dongle in Vista Bandwith: I unplugged every device from network, and left the USB 3G dongle...

    Connect LAN to WAN through PC

    to make matters worse, I went online today and after a couple of blank pages, and 10 different links sent by the ISP added 500MB to my data for $5 I then found I had used 200 after about 10 minutes! I disconnected the cable from my laptop, and it was still using it at about 1MB per 2-4...

    Connect LAN to WAN through PC

    I really hope it's temporary, however it could be 6 months plus until we get the phone line in! I tried disabling the adaptor and because it's not shared, it looks like ICS turns off, and therefore DHCP goes away, and then the network stops working.... I will try just turning off the...

    Connect LAN to WAN through PC

    Thanks, but that's not really the point. I am doing that already. My point is that my home network even when not installing updates, watching yourtube, or browsing used 20% of my monthly data allowance in a single night. Therefore I need to turn off the USB 3G dongle when not in use, and...

    Connect LAN to WAN through PC

    I have tried this for a couple of days, and have the following findings - which may help others making similar choices. I cannot move / unplug the computer running ICS, nor turn off the internet connection without everything internally dying, as they cannot find DHCP server. So for...

    Connect LAN to WAN through PC

    Yes, that's how it seems to be playing out. I actually left router in same mode but wan port not used and router ip on same network as ics. I was actually hoping to still go through router and set ics network as being the wan as I am not sure how good the protection is with ics Still it's...

    Connect LAN to WAN through PC

    So I read up on Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), and it says you don't need bridging. So I shared my 3G connection, and it was assigned 192.168.1.0/24 and I then checked the LAN port which was assigned 192.168.137.1 Connecting a laptop via a simple switch got me a laptop address of...

    Connect LAN to WAN through PC

    I might be starting to see a picture here... So set up a "non secure", (ie no access to my NAS etc) pc with the 3g dongle. Set that up say as 192.168.1/24 Setup bridge to connect that pcs 3g + LAN together, then share that connection on network. Then connect router to the LAN using router...

    Connect LAN to WAN through PC

    Bridging and sharing are two different things I think, I am never quite sure what the difference is. I found an older 3G dongle which connects in the router (I can ping any website when logged into router via ssh), and I can connect to the router from PC, however I cannot connect to internet...

    AC87U Wan OK, LAN OK, But no connection from LAN to WAN

    I have struggled to get my Router online with a 3G card, and came across an old USB dongle from a few years back, so just for giggles I tried it. It in fact worked straight away, I got assigned WAN IP, then connection looks good, and the router can ping the internet. I ssh'd into the...

    Connect LAN to WAN through PC

    I have a LAN but no wired internet connection. I have a USB 3G dongle which is fine for wifi devices, however not for wired only devices. Can I connect my PC to the internet using the dongle, and then have all devices on the LAN connect through the PC? I have an asus AC87 router...

    3G dongle - Better with Merlin but still not working

    Hi, I have a house network with a variety of devices and cat6a cabling in walls. The one thing I don't have is an internet connection. I got the AC87 as it supports 3G dongles, however it doesn't seem to work, and ASUS support sent me to a page that showed no modems at all for Italy where...

    I have a new router which supports 3G dongles however it won't connect. it shows up in the router as a huewai modem. The modem connects according to its indicators, I cannot connect to the dongle from other devices which would indicate it's tied to router. the dial up is *99# and there is no...
