LTE Interface Hijacking my Default Route

[Arcee]

So… I got a 4g/LTE USB Dongle with a SIM card in it.

The problem is whenever I reboot my router or disable/re-enable the LTE interface, it adds a default route with it’s address as the gateway. This overrides my default routes and screws up everything for me.

Anyone familiar with this issue? I don’t mind the LTE interface creating a default route… but I would prefer if it has a distance of 255… not 0!

I don’t have an answer, but a workaround would be a script that changed the distance on the route upon boot?

Somewhere in the config for the LTE modem I’d expect it to say add-default-route. Turn it off.

If the device is coming up as a ppp device, then yep, there’s an option in the ppp config for adding the default route and another for adding dns entries.
