I have an ASUS AC68U router and I'm currently using Tomato by Shibby (Tomato Firmware 1.28.0000 -3.0-132 K26ARM USB AIO-64K) but I've used AsusWrt-Merlin before to connect my HUAWEI E3276s-150 USB modem (4G dongle) to the router and provide Internet access around my network.
Setting this up is really easy with Tomato. I just plug the USB dongle to the USB 2.0 port, and configure the Internet connection like this:
Since I took that screenshot, I removed the APN (it just works without it) and dropped the MTU to 1492.
Most websites load just fine and everything is working. However, some particular websites (for instance, https://github.com) don't work, it just keeps loading indefinitely with a blank page.
I plugged the USB dongle directly to my laptop and connected with the built-in Windows tools, now I was able to open github.com without any issues. I've also tried to configure a free VPN service (vpnbook) on the Tomato router and this also opened github.com for me.
So what configuration might I be missing on my router for the USB modem to work when directly connected to the router with a direct connection to my ISP gateway? What am I missing?
