Hello,
i have switched to LTE access and mounted an sxt lte in my location.
the easiest way to continue using my network with minimum re-config was to set up sxt lte to use lte passthrough.
everything can be seen on the screenshot.
i've setup a vlan interface, and selected that vlan to be on eth1 port. then i selected vlan1 to be used as lte passthru interface.
on the other side on openwrt router i selected dhcp client with vlan ID 2, and now i get an IP from my provider.
problem: i keep getting 2 ip addresses - one is on mikrotik (no dhcp client anywhere but lte interface get's IP), and then my openwrt gets a 2nd IP.
i requested to have public IPv4 on my sim card, and i will get 1 public IP once my request is done. but as of now, i'm getting 2 ip addresses on my connection.
is it possible to somehow "lose" IP on mikrotik, and have just 1 public IP on my openwrt router?
question 2 - why is band switching so slow?
it takes roughly 3 minutes for the lte modem to reconnect to another lte band. my tower has 4 bands (1,3,7,20) and depending on load i will manually switch them. i installed the last stable ros and updated modem firmware also.
huawei b525 (cat6 modem) can change bands / aggregations in ~ 15 seconds, with lte inspecteur i tested different bands and each time take about 10-15 seconds for the modem to reconnect. with mikrotik it's almost 3 minutes. can that be faster?
thanks
