Topic: SoundMate M1 - Connect to Wifi, but use Cellular for Internet

Hey everyone,

so I bought a Uyesee SoundMate M1 (Airmusic NW11 i think? TP-Link 703N with OpenWRT if this helps) to use AirPlay (shairplay) in my car. Love it. The only downside I get with this setup: by default there will be no internet access on the client side because the SoundMate itself is not connected to an WAN. To enable Internet I have to manually set the 'Router' configuration on the client side to null, internet will then be routed via cellular.

My question, is there a way to set the DHCP on the SoundMate to not use the default router? I want to be connected to the wireless network the SoundMate creates, but at the same time to use cellular on my phone to connect to the internet.
I found the telnet access details for root on this little boy, but i'm really a noob at this topic.

Current /etc/config/network looks like this:
[qoute]
config 'interface' 'loopback'
        option 'ifname' 'lo'
        option 'proto' 'static'
        option 'ipaddr' '127.0.0.1'
        option 'netmask' '255.0.0.0'

config 'interface' 'lan'
        option 'type' 'bridge'
        option 'proto' 'static'
        option 'ipaddr' '192.168.222.254'
        option 'netmask' '255.255.255.0'

config 'interface' 'wan'
        option 'ifname' 'eth0'
        option 'proto' 'dhcp'
        option 'hostname' 'SoundMate'
        option 'workmode' '1'

config 'interface' 'wwan'
        option 'ifname' 'wlan1'
        option 'proto' 'dhcp'
        option 'hostname' 'SoundMate'
[/qoute]

I really have no clue, how or if I can accomplish this. hmm//
Hope someone can help me. smile)


Is there another SoundMate user? How did you handle this? Did you improve something else on it? (ShairPort-Sync?)


Love to hear from you.
Peace.

Hello!

Did you ever figure this out? I did some playing on my raspberry pi, and figured out that if I don't offer DNS, then my phone will continue to use its cellular network too...

Just don't know who to configure that on the SoundMate!

Ohhh i figured it out smile kill the dnsmasq process!

Hey, how did you kill the dnsmasq process?
How can i connect to the SoundMate?

The discussion might have continued from here.
