Usb cable and ethernet cable not working
Hello! Dose anyone know how i can use usb and ethernet together? I try to share internet to both. If i turn usb on it will turn off the ethernet cable. The reason i want to use the usb cable is becau...
this is directly from the manual:
When you are using an Ethernet connection, you can use the USB type C cable and the AC adapter to
recharge the mobile router battery.
You cannot use an Ethernet connection and a tethered USB connection at the same
time to access the mobile router. Creating a tethered USB connection puts the
LAN/WAN port to sleep. To use the LAN/WAN port later, disconnect the USB
connection, press the Power button, and wait for the LAN/WAN port to wake up.
Sorry if don't understand you fully. The ethernet cable don't get power when the usb cable is connected. Is this normal? Is one thing if it's collide with otherthings. But this just shut the power off in ethernet connection. If i do as you typing will it turn the power on?

Ok! I thank you for your support. Then i can not do anything about it. Sad they didn't program it in that way. I going to test with a usb to ethernet adapter. Maybe i will lose speed on the internet... but it's a try. Strange why im losing speed with ethernet cable. My networkscard is 1 gb/s and the mobile router is 500 mbit what iv'e found out. I understand when i connect two routers i can loose speed but not direct to my pc with ethernet cable. I'm losing around 30 mbit.
Try a different router. Your is a vpn router designed to route traffic through a vpn.
and make sure you're not running the double nat (dual router) setup. either the M1 in passthrough or the router in AP.
Yes but i don't use vpn router when i'm losing speed. I thought from the begining that it must be the vpn router fault why im losing speed. But that was not the case. The mobile router is droping speed on ethernet compared to usb. I wonder if other people has the same issue
