3G Backup Internet connection
Region : India
Model : TD-W8968
Hardware Version : V2
Firmware Version : 0.6.0 1.4 v0019.0 Build 130812 Rel.55657n
ISP : Tata Indicom
Dear Sir,
I am using the TD-W8968 router in our small office. The router is connected to Tata Broadband connection(ADSL2) for Internet. I am also using a 3G Dongle from Tata as a Backup solution for Internet.
The problem is when the basic ADSL connection is lost and the router connects to the Backup 3G dongle, only the devices connected by Wifi get the Internet. All other Physically connected devices do not get internet. Is there an additional setting that we need to make so that all devices connected to the router (physical and Wifi) get Internet?
All settings have been done automatically through the CD received with the router and no manual changes have been done by me.
Help in this respect will be highly appreciated. Thanks in Advance!

Re:3G Backup Internet connection
I updated the firmware to the latest available version TD-W8968_V2_131224 but the Problem is not solved. I additionally discovered that this problem happens with only those computers that have manually configured IP Address and DNS server Address. The following is the manual configuration in the PC and it is directly connected to the Router.
IP Address: 192.168.1.54
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.1.1
Preferred DNS Server: 202.149.208.92
Alternate DNS Server: 202.149.208.11
When I remove the above value and select the "Obtain an IP address automatically" & "Obtain DNS server address automatically" the PC begin's to get internet access.
Attached below is the screen shot of the LAN configuration of the router.
