SXT LTE6 kit connected to single PC, no Internet

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Good evening,
I just bought the above unit, and powered it up with a working italian operator SIM (Iliad). From the checks I could run so far:

  • the SIM has registered on 4G and is doing some radio traffic; the apn is correct
  • I have enabled the Firewall, NAT, DHCP on the unit, which is attached to a single W10 PC who’s been consequently assigned IP addr. 192.168.88.254. Windows DNS is pointing to gateway 192.168.88.1 (the unit). I’m using Winbox, no other changes done to the default configuration out if the box
  • I cannot however reach the Internet; browser says it’s a DNS issue. Digging further, I can just ping the PC from the SXT unit, but all outgoing pings (to 8.8.8.8, to the default DNS, to other DNS servers etc.) end up in timeout; both when issued from a cmd window on the PC, and when done through the ping tool in Winbox.
    I see others have had similar issues and tried the remedies indicated in those threads, but no luck. Can anybody help?
    Many thanks
    Riccardo

Export your configuration (with hide-sensitive parameter)…

  1. Upgrade to 6.48.3

  2. Assign 192.168.88.1/24 to your Bridge Interface, not to the slave port (ether1)

/ip address
add address=192.168.88.1/24 comment=defconf interface=ether1 network=\
    192.168.88.0

Then test again…

Upgraded to 6.48.3, I have attached the resulting new configuration. I see the command you have pasted is in fact in there, not sure then how to do the bridge assignment you are mentioning. Can I ask you the exact changes I should perform? Thanks a lot again

On Winbox, go to IP, Addresses and change from ether1 to Bridge Interface …
