RUT 951 Connecting WAN to an access point

Hi All

I am new to RUT routers. I am sure this must have been answered but I can’t find the right thread. Can anyone help?

I have a RUT 951 for my motorhome. My goal is to use a wifi access point when one is provided by a camp site and cellular data when there is no access point available.

Accordingly, my network topology looks like this:

2024-09-04_09-00-44
2024-09-04_09-00-44970×392 27.6 KB

the WAN interface ‘WifiOffload’ has a gateway metric of 1:

2024-09-04_09-03-36
2024-09-04_09-03-361104×414 54.7 KB

and is currently connected to ssid ‘BTHUB…’ acting as a client (connected to my home wifi as a test).

2024-09-04_09-07-27
2024-09-04_09-07-271104×344 36.9 KB

[The above picture shows a signal of 0% but this has been resolved by firmware R_00.07_09]

When I am connected a device on the LAN (via wifi to RUT951_1314) then all of my WAN traffic goes through WAN interface mob1s2a1. If doesn’t go through ‘WifiOffload’

Even if I configure ‘WifiOffload’ to use a wired connection (to my home broadband router) I see the same.

What do I need to do to configure a wireless client / WAN interface to serve the LAN?

Many thanks

Neil

In desperation I have just done a factory reset to remove the possibility of me doing something wrong.

I’ve put connect a working ethernet cable in physical ‘WAN’ port.

Still, I can’t see anything through that WAN interface. If I turn off the cellular interfaces it get no WAN access…

I can ping 8.8.8.8 but I can’t open a browser to any webpage.

As an ‘out of the box’ configuration I thought (from other posts) this would work?

Thanks
Neil

Hi,
change you “lan” IP to i.e.: 192.168.22.1
Now you have overlap with your “lan” and “wan”. Both are in the same subnet 192.168.1.0/24

Thank you Simonas… very much appreciated. It was driving me mad. It’s now working.
As you can probably guess. I don’t have to configure many networks. Once you pointed that out it made sense.

Cheers
Neil
