Pi-star and mobile WiFi Problems

Post by g8nsz »

Hi All,

I am having an issue with my new 3Mobile 4G wifi router. I have always been able to connect and work through home wifi, friends and relatives wifi, hotels wifi and my phone. However, my new 'mifi' router, whilst it connects to the pi-star node, refuses to send or receive data onto the system. It shows my handheld info on the OLED, I can see it on the mifi page as connected. However, no data is sent out.

There are obviously some settings on the router that are blocking the connection but I am not clever enough to know what needs to be corrected or changed in the settings. All help gratefully received😎

Maybe the MiFi blocks UDP packets. That would break it.

Thanks Brian. I popped into the 3 shop yesterday and peaked their interest. The guys there suggested I bring the system in and they can look at what might be happening. I'll put something up here if they find a solution.
