Sign up with GoogleHi All,
I have looked for a solution to my problem all over the web and these forums, even though some of the threads are semi-related, not one solves the problem in the way I could implement it.
Some history (glaze over this if it's too long to read):
Due to the lack of Fibre coverage in my area, I was forced to stay with ADSL for an unfortunate period of time. This has now become problematic, as the lines have been stolen and replaced a few times...basically the ADSL efficiency has gone down the toilet.
From a relatively stable 10mb line, speeds of 1.2MB/s for Steam and Netflix, down to 0.350-0.550MB/s. This is problematic if your an old gamer that gets grumpy when there is a twitch of lag shown...while the wife is streaming Netflix through a mainline and my son is downloading music on his phone and streaming YouTube streamers nonstop gibberish.
In an effort to get some normality back into my life, I signed up for LTE. Now don't get me wrong, it surprised me, as I used to be very skeptical during the days of Sentech's initial offerings and failings IMO. With the addition of a Poynting antenna i dropped the DB down from -92 to -81. Which gives me a solid 50-60mb/s down and a surprising 30mb/s up.
/end history
However, the Wireless does still give me some dropped packets during certain conditions...windy/rainy etc.
For that reason I would like to combine the two options....if at all possible.
Currently the setup is as follows :
1 - ADSL Modem is connected to the WAN port on the ASUS AC68 and a PPPOE connection is established on the Asus router.
2 - Computers are connected to the ASUS AC68 - via Lan Cables and IP's are DHCP Auto assigned.
3 - ASUS Wireless is on and running on the 5ghz spectrum with the TV's wireless connecting to this.
4 - The Cellphones and Ipads are connected to the Huawei B330 on the 2,4ghz spectrum (However the Huawei irritates me, it constantly drops connections and has the configurability of a 2 year old, in it's defense, it could be that the asus is clashing with it over the wifi spectrums, im not versed enough with it to know for sure.)
The ideal setup :
1 - ADSL Modem is connected to the WAN port on the Asus
2 - Computers run off the ADSL
3 - Disable the Wifi on the Huawei B330 and connect it to the Asus via a Lan port
4 - Setup the ASUS wifi to actually see and recognize the LTE connection and distribute this via the wifi to chosen devices.
I know it's a really long shot, but just maybe someone else has had this same type of problem and has successfully implemented a solution.
If so, please share your knowledge.
Additionally, I am struggling to get the ASUS router to recognize the Huawei LTE modem. Even by turning off the Wifi Radios on the Huawei and plugging it into the ASUS Wan Port and setting the Huawei to LAN Only, there is no connection. Is there a specific setting on the ASUS that would need to be turned on? I know it has a bunch of connection options, PPPOE, Fixed IP etc.
