EE5G as WAN on Draytek Router Issues

marculos2 — Wed, 16 Nov 2022 16:13:56 GMT

Hi, I am trying to get an EE 5G router working with a Draytek. (EE 5G as WAN on Draytek)

The EE router is 5GEE WiFi with one ethernet port.

I connect the ethernet cable from the EE router to the WAN port of the Draytek and setup as per these instructions.
Setting up WAN Internet Access for Ethernet WAN (draytek.co.uk)

All looks good and works but then the connection drops, looks like DNS issues and I can't access any websites. I have tried on multiple Draytek routers.

Any ideas?

Cheers

@marculos2 do you know what the ip address is for the EE router or the ip range?

The settings you linked to for the Draytek are for it to be connected to a modem not another router, so at the very least I would expect PPOE to be disabled.

It depends on what your are trying to achieve, but at best you may have double NAT problems as you have two routers.

Is there not an option to put the SIM in the Draytek?

Thanks, sadly none of the Draytek routers support 5G cellular. Guess I need to try and find a 5G EE Modem.

Why not setup the Draytek as an Access Point ?
