Share Internet Connection via Ethernet connected Router over the LAN
By Sophia Hammond
I have a USB modem that works perfectly with Ubuntu but doesn't work with my Wifi router.
I want a set-up where the USB modem is connected to my PC and my PC is connected to my Router (via ethernet) and I can share/forward the net connection via the Router to other appliances. (Basically, a workaround for my modem not being supported by the Router).
- Router: TP-Link TL-MR3220
- Ubuntu version: 14.04
- Modem: ZTE AC 8700 EVDO
- ISP: BSNL EVDO
Additional Info:
I've tried doing Internet Connection Sharing on Windows 7 but it didn't work. Couldn't figure out how to do this in Ubuntu either.
Similar question that didn't help me: How do I share my Ubuntu's Internet connection with a LAN (via hardware router)
Thanks in advance!
