Thanks Damien, I suppose I might have to do that as I need to access the MT remotely through it and would prefer not to use VPN if possible. Of course I would rather not have to do that either :-) maybe I'm getting lazy in my older age ;-) Regards Paul -----Original Message----- From: Public [mailto:public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au] On Behalf Of Damien Gardner Jnr Sent: Monday, 2 November 2015 11:11 AM To: MikroTik Australia Public List Subject: Re: [MT-AU Public] 4G Modems....again The public IP will be on the external interface of the modem. Your mikrotik will still get a private IP, and be natted behind the modem. I'm sure you could telnet in and modify the start scripts on the dongle, to add some iptables rules to forward all tcp/udp/icmp directly to the IP of the miktrotik though :) On 2 November 2015 at 11:08, Paul Julian <paul@oxygennetworks.com.au> wrote:
Actually one other question on this one....I will be using the Telstra extranet APN which gives me a public IP, will the DHCP client get that through to the Mikrotik or will I have to do something fancy with the modem ?
Thanks Paul

Hi Paul,
Sure have and it works a treat. :-)
The below information is courtesy of Jason;
The Telstra prepaid ZTE MF823 (~$50) does indeed work on my 751G and 2011 box using firmware 6.27.
Some things to note to have it work in a straightforward mode:
* The Mikrotik knows how to set up the right USB IDS's to get the ethernet USB interface going. * It also knows to tell the modem to connect to the network. * Use a DHCP client on the LTE1 interface with default route and Peer DNS set. * The DHCP client gives you an address of 192.168.0.182/24 and the modem is 192.168.0.1. * I used used SRC NAT to the 192.168.0/24 subnet. The modem runs Linux on ARM internally so you can log into it with telnet and change the default subnet on the modem apparently. Telstra have disabled or hidden these settings in the web menu on 192.168.0.1. * Be wary of the triple NAT in effect and any consequences: Internet <| 10/8 Telstra <| Modem 192.168.0/24 <| Your network * As per the Mikrotik Wiki cold power the 2011 when plugging in the modem otherwise LTE1 doesn't come up properly. This wasn't an issue on the 751G. * Disabling then reenabling the LTE1 interface brings it up briefly then it disables itself again. Only a plugging cycle fixes this. * Make sure the main router power supply can drive your router and the full 2.5W to the USB port.
Hope it helps...
Regards,
Alen
