A simpler setup (if it's supported, I have a USB-C one but haven't tried) would be to use an USB-to-go Ethernet adapter and share the phone's internet connection via a router's WAN port. Then any regular hardware router or OpenWrt could be used in a normal way.
- Tostino 3y agoI'm doing that right now. It works, but tethering limits are definitely enforced.
- hattmall 3y agoHave you tried modifying the TTL on the router? I can't give you all the information but it's a place to look. I believe dropping it by one is what's needed. I've used a Belkin router flashed with padavan firmware and it has an option to adjust TTL, just a checkbox, but it seems to enable unthrottled unlimited tethering as far as I can tell.
- notpushkin 3y agoI believe you should add one, not subtract. E. g. if TTL on the phone is set to 64, you'll want router to send packets with TTL 65, so that one extra hop (from router to phone) brings it down to 64 and the carrier can't tell the difference.
- hattmall 3y agoAh, makes sense!
- theshrike79 3y agoIs there a way to determine if a phone supports this without just going ahead and trying it? I'd rather not spend the money if it won't work =)
- karmakaze 3y agoIn my case, I already had a USB-C hub/ports/adapter with Ethernet for my laptop as well as many routers around the house. You can also check phone specs for USB OTG (On-the-go, operating in host rather than device mode).
