NR5103E Curious IP Passthrough behaviour.

I've recently picked up an NR5103E to see if that'll fix my tower woes (recognisable IMEI freeing bandwidth is the hope)

Router installed, antenna attached and initial results look promising - even might have some N78 100Mhz but won't get my hopes up yet.

Curiously, I cannot get the IP passthrough to work - like, at all.

Running firmware V1.00(ACBJ.0)b15, enabling IP Passthrough and hitting apply kicks me straight back out to the login screen.

Logging back in, the router states that IP passthrough is enabled, but is still handing out a DHCP address and not a passthrough IP. Fixing the MAC address doesn't help either - nor does rebooting.

Any suggestions?
 
Hmm - looks like modifying the APN settings and Cellular WAN 1 settings to be IPv4 only seems to have done the trick.

I was just going to say that others have reported enabling the IPv4 only setting solves the problem with IP Passthrough and you beat me to it. 😊

What do you think of the old soap dispenser then dazmatic? :unsure:

I've used them in the past however I faced issues with speed and band selection. Previous model unit preferred band 1 annoyingly.

I have had to raise my mast up somewhat to improve reception, slightly - there was a lot of faffing - but do seem to have a decent-ish 5G N78 connection with B32 and B3.

It's handy because it looks like they've upgraded the radio to broadcast 100Mhz rather than the 40Mhz previously. Given my distance and terrain in sitting at about 110dBm RSRP which isn't great but the extra 60Mhz helps a lot. Previously I struggled to even get a connection with 5G, then they enabled amplifiers which has helped enormously.

Before, maybe 100-120Mbps even with the NR5103E I had before, now during the day I was seeing 300Mbps+.

Curiously, it will go up to 300+ for a few seconds and then drop, and then ramp up again so stability is an issue.

Oh that sounds great, seems like they've they done a rather good upgrade there. 👍

It's promising - shan't hold my breath however!

Something else interesting though, the NR5103E just changed the WAN IP address, however my ER605 didn't detect the change and request a new one so it just dropped to the backup connection. Never done that before.

Just got passthrough working on mine by changing the APN to use three.co.uk the Cellular WAN 1 is still using ipv4 and ipv6. Its anoying as have been using 3internet apn for port fowarding.
 
I'm going to continue in here rather than open another thread.

So the curious behavour continues. Still have passthrough enabled, however if the Three IP address changes, my ER605 doesn't detect that it is offline and attempt a reconnect.

@meritez I understand your familiar with the ER605, any ideas?

I've got the detection interval set to 3 seconds, even changed it to 8.8.8.8 for detection IP.
Even, I've updated the DHCP settings on the NR5103E to refresh every minute in the hope that it'll try and refresh the IP so no avail.

Very frustrating. It's not as if I'm expecting the IP to change very often, but when it does I won't be aware of it until things slow down as the backup takes over and it won't do it automatically.

Point in case, with MF286D, VN007+ and 2x Mikrotik routers I never had this problem, only with the NR5103E.
 
I have a similar issue with a Huawei AX3. It loses connection for exactly 5 minutes and 27 seconds when the Wan IP changes, can't see any way to fix this.
 
Mine never came back - had to go into the Omada controller and disconnect/reconnect.

@dazmatic yes familiar with three er605s, one v1 and two v2s, all been ripped out of installation recently and replaced with something else that actually works.

I'm not a fan, the hardware is decent and it runs Openwrt beautifully if switched over but something in tplinks forked implementation just isn't working as intended.

Just out of interest what did you replace the er605's with?

I was seriously considering getting one , but now I have seen these posts I'm having second thoughts.

Belkin RT1800/ Linksys E7350 running Openwrt.
Which are pretty much the same hardware, 5 ethernet ports, same ram and flash storage size, USB port but with WiFi6 included.

I use Radiusdesk to manage them:

I'm currently looking at some WSM20 to add to them:

WSM20 miss a USB port and only have 4 ethernet ports but at roughly £20 each with a wall mounting kit, they are much cheaper for the same chipset.

Thanks for the info, I have been looking at the Linksys E7350 and flashing it's stock firmware to Openwrt, but correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the newer versions of the stock firmware prevent this now?
