Em20 vzw connects but no internet

Post by silverspade82 »

Hello all! First post so bare with me please, I am running a wg3526-p with an onboard em20 running vzw post paid tablet sim. Last night I put the sim in ran in mbim mode and had great speeds 50-60 dl vzwinternet apn ttl 117 ping 15 ms, switched to qmi dropped my ping to 5ms. So now the problem ran the tv streaming all night last night and got a text from vzw saying I only had 10% of hotspot left, so I went and changed my ttl to 64 and it hasn't worked since.
The modem connects to vzw as it should and can search google go to Facebook and Netflix but will not load any other page at all not even a speed test. I am very green to this so any help would be much appreciated, thank you in advance.

Do you have the "TTL" setting turned on or are you using the full custom TTL under Network-->Firewall-->Custom Rules?

The only way TTL works for Verizon and Tmobile is if there are both IPV4 and IPV6 rules in place. the "TTL" feature only does IPV4

Paste this into the Custom Rules and reset the firewall / save button:

Code: Select all

# A Hashtag is in place if not using that line.

# Popular TTL values: 64 for Visible. 65 for Verizon, ATT and Tmobile. 117 is sometimes a working TTL for Verizon.
# When changing values, first place # on all the TTL value lines beginning, like this line itself has. Then click Restart Firewall.
# Then change all of the TTL values to what you need and then delete the #s at their lines beginning.
# Then click Restart Firewall. Changes should then be applied properly.

# Start-IP6-TTL-Fix
ip6tables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -o wwan0 -j HL --hl-set 65
# End-IP6-TTL-Fix

# Start-IP4-TTL-Fix
iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -o wwan0 -j TTL --ttl-set 64
# End-IP4-TTL-Fix

You may have to edit the setting to a few things to try. Sounds like 65 works for you though. Just gotta have IPV6 TTL settings setup (IPV6 one is called HL)
