RPi4 + Quectel RM502Q - Help with Network Interfaces and/or Firewall
Posted: Wed Nov 10, 2021 1:58 pm
So, I recently built my own router+modem combo with a RPi4 and a Quectel RM502Q within a PCIe to USB enclosure. I'm running GoldenOrb and everything is pretty much default. The setup appears to be working correctly and I can reach speedtest.net within the GoldenOrb interface and see that I have an external IP to my ISP, but no devices on my network can get to the internet. I suspect something is up with the default network interface setup or the firewall config, but I can't seem to get the configuration correct. I've included a screenshot of the current interfaces configuration, which I'm guessing is the default for this GoldenOrb RPi4 image.

The LAN interface is my local network, and I guess WAN1 is the modem. If I disable that device, I lose internet at the RPi. From the rudimentary knowledge I have on networking, I feel the WAN IP address I'm getting from my ISP should be in there somewhere, but any attempts to create a new interface and link it have failed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated; I'm sure this is a simple fix but I'm far out of practice on the network configuration side of things. Thanks!
