Q: Support for Sprint Netgear 341U and how to Use the Feature?
•
A: Description of the Feature
- Starting from AOS 6.4.3 we support the Netgear 341U model as a backup USB cellular LTE uplink on the controller.
- This is supported with the controller being in any mode: Standalone, Master, Local, (BoC)
- This uplink is NOT supported as the primary uplink during branch office controller initial bringup.
- This has been supported on the Sprint LTE network in North America.
- How to Use the Feature
341U modem runs in two modes: NAT mode and IPT.
–Nat mode: Modem acts like a natting device.
This is the default mode out of the box.
WAN IP is on the modem and a DHCP server on the modem hands out an IP in the 192.168.1.x/24 subnet (Usually 192.168.1.4)
While using this mode, make sure that no other interfaces have the same subnet.
–IPT: IP Pass through / Bridge mode.
WAN IP is on the controller directly
Modem parameters
–Connect modem to laptop and visit http://sprintmodem or http://192.168.1.1 while the modem is in NAT mode. Default password is : password
–From here you can change the subnet, mode and other parameters.
–Tool to change from IPT mode to Default :
