Hey so I know there's been similar questions to this before but their solutions always seem to jump around without detailing the entire process. Or it's just difficult for me to apply to my unique/niche network situation. Basically I live in the middle of nowhere and have to use my phone as my internet source. This involves using Windows' Internet Connectivity Sharing (NOT Mobile Hotspot) with a specific tethering app to distribute my phone's unlimited data through what should be pretty standard LAN/wifi connections after the "unique" initial steps. My issue (seems to be at least) is that Verizon can see the "hop" from the janky ICS connection to my router and tends to just kill the connection if it sees a spike in data usage from anything dependent on the router (i.e. me downloading a large patch on my PS5 which is pretty much the only router-dependent connection that I need to work consistently).
So I ended up getting a RT-AX68U Pro the other day in the hopes that I can use the custom firmware to completely "mask" my downstream connections I guess. I'm fairly certain I need to do something using an iptables mangle ttl command thing to set my TTL to 65 for the after-hop devices but I'm not sure how to get to that point or have it get there automatically for indefinite usage. Any ideas as to what addon or method I need to use to accomplish this?
