I have a Netgear AC810 connected to the USB port.
The device is detected by the router but no ip address is getting assigned to the router.
When connected to a PC the PC get address 192.168.1.4 as expected.

The udhpc command below (that I dont know if it is fully correct) looks like it obtain the ip but interface (eth3) is not getting configured. Also I have to do a ifdown/ifup first or udhpc just throws an error.
After adding address and default route I can reach internet from the router cli. But clients can still not access Internet. I'm not surprised and asking for some help with this. The ASUS GUI still say that USB WAN is down.

I think/hope that this can be done quite smooth if some one have more knowledge than me. What would be the best way of manually bringing up the interface and enabling the WAN interface in a correct way?

Code:
asus@RT-AC66U_B1:/tmp/home/root# cat /jffs/scripts/services-start
#!/bin/sh
# This cript get called after all other system services
# have been started at boot on router
# ---------------------------------------------------------
# Sample cron job to install after reboot

Glad you've sorted it out. Was going to ask what the Netgear whatchamahoozit is, but now we don't need to know
