FWA710 5G Outdoor Router

Model Name FWA710

Firmware Version V1.17(ACGC.0)C0

Hi,

I successfulyl setup the mentioned router with vodafone germany and 5G. Speed is awesome (650Mbps/140Mbps). Now I'm struggling with getting the ip-passthrough running.

When I set it up as described here (Link) my router (opnsense) gets a DHCP lease on the WAN interface and I can access the internet, but I can not reach it from the internet. So I connected a raspberry pi5 to the LAN Port of the FWA710 and just activated an apache2 webserver, but still not accessable.

I checked the ip leases and saw that the dhcp ip the endpoint (opnsense/rpi5) is different from the one shown in the Zyxel web interface.

What I want to reach - just simple bride-mode of the FWA710 so I can access my internal ressources from the internet.

Thank you for your help in advance,

Arne

Hi @arneboeses ,

It seems that the passthrough configuration was set successfully, and your network service is active.

Regarding access to OPNsense, please check if you have chosen the Passthrough mode as Fixed, and set the Passthrough to fixed MAC to your OPNsense router?

If so, when you want to access your OPNsense router, please use the IP address shown on the FWA710 home page, as the OPNsense will use the FWA710’s Cellular WAN IP.

After that, please configure the relevant policy on your OPNsense router to allow devices from the internet to access it.

Thank you for the reply. IPs are now equal, but still traffic does not end at the opnsense. Any idea? Port 80/443 are open at opnsense for haproxy also tested with raspberrypi. So my only guess is that vodafone has a NAT within the 5g mobile network.

Hi @arneboeses ,

From our perspective, we can guarantee that the passthrough configuration was set successfully and your network service is active. However, due to our limited knowledge about OPNsense and Vodafone, we cannot assist with the OPNsense access issue.
