Hi There,

 

I'm trying to get an Archer VR600 working with 4g/LTE failover. I've purchased a Huawei E3372h dongle as recommended in the compatible devices list. I'm connecting the dongle to the router and the router is recognising it as connected and being assigned an IP address in the correct range:

 

Router assigned IP Address: 192.168.8.100 (same IP my PC is assigned when connecting dongle directly)

Gateway: 192.168.8.1 (which is the correct IP address of the Huaweii dongle when connected to a PC)

DNS: 192.168.8.1 / 0.0.0.0

 

However the VR600 is showing a status of "no internet" and when I try to ping a WAN address (e.g. 8.8.8.8) this is failing.

 

The weird part is that DNS appears to be working. If I try the following:

 

nslookup tp-link.com 192.168.1.1

 

where 192.168.1.1 is the LAN address of the VR600, this is successful and correctly returns the remote IP address.

 

So clearly something is working and the dongle is getting internet but for some reason the VR600 is not routing all traffic through the 192.168.8.1 gateway for some reason. 

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Olly

  @OllyL 

Would it make any difference to use it as a 3G/4G wireless router mode only, instead of a backup connection?

If still no internet service, please help me send an email to support.forum@tp-link.com with the following information(please add the forum ID 574556):

1. A picture of the internet status when the USB dongle is detected and provides the correct IP address to VR600.

2. The system log on the modem.

Thank you very much.

Best regards.
