I believe it can be done by manually running OpenWrt commands, I don't know them myself but I do believe this is how it could be done, or maybe somewhere in the LuCI web interface?
Here are a couple of examples:
uci set firewall.sip=userredirect
uci set firewall.sip.family='ipv4'
uci set firewall.sip.enabled='1'
uci set firewall.sip.target='DNAT'
uci set firewall.sip.src='wan'
uci set firewall.sip.dest='lan'
uci set firewall.sip.src_dport='5060'
uci set firewall.sip.dest_port='5060'
uci set firewall.sip.name='SIP'
uci set firewall.sip.dest_ip='192.168.0.x'
uci set firewall.sip.proto='tcpudp'
uci commit
or
uci set firewall.rtp=userredirect
uci set firewall.rtp.family='ipv4'
uci set firewall.rtp.target='DNAT'
uci set firewall.rtp.dest_port='10000:20000'
uci set firewall.rtp.name='RTP'
uci set firewall.rtp.src_dport='10000:20000'
uci set firewall.rtp.enabled='1'
uci set firewall.rtp.src='wan'
uci set firewall.rtp.dest='lan'
uci set firewall.rtp.dest_ip='192.168.0.x'
uci set firewall.rtp.proto='udp'
eci commit
Amazing work!
Any luck with bridge mode? I tried the /bridge.htm page as above and while it didn’t error it also didn’t seem to do anything.
The 5g is a great service, shame it’s so crippled in the firmware.
try going to http://192.168.0.1/ltedbg.htm and changing setting to LTE I think this will make it do 4G only
Is there a way to setup QoS with this router natively? If not, is there a way to bridge the damn thing so I can use a competent router? We're able to manually access the bridging page, but it seems like it's hard locked to off in the firmware or something
Go to Downloads folder, right-click '5GCPE_backup.cfg' select 7-Zip then Open Archive
Drag '5GCPE_backup' out from 7-Zip and place it on the Desktop.
Right-click '5GCPE_backup' and select edit with Notepad++
Anyone else getting the error "cannot open file as archive" for their downloaded backup? Does this suggest something is corrupted? It's the same error even with the factory backup
Looks like they forced an update to the modem that has patched this hole. I get the error now too. so maybe the only option now is via the UART
I just got root again. You cant edit a new downloaded config but it will accept an old config.

this is a config I downloaded a while ago, I have put the lines in to get root. Just apply this to the modem and u should have root

Update: This worked great, got root access! What a champ! Do you reckon there's anything in the system here, perhaps a startup process, which is resulting in my problem from here: /thread/3z4y5q17?
Okay so I've actually looked into the interfaces screen, and there is straight up no interface for the LTE/5G WAN connection now. Maybe I'm missing something, but all I did was restart the modem! What the hell, Telstra?!
I haven't seen anything that I think would help but have u had a look through the LuCI web interface? http://192.168.0.1:8080/
The firmware update probably updated both the router and the 5g modem firmware. I am assuming either the firmware update in the 5g modem failed so it went into diagnostic mode, or the router put the modem into diagnostics mode to do the firmware update and it didn't end up asking the modem to come out of it. Either way probably not a hell of a lot u can do except ask Telstra to replace it.
One thing that could work maybe (prob not) is to try letting the router half boot then quickly unplug and replug power, then let it half boot again then again unplug and replug. try doing that a few times, sometimes if a modem fails to boot it will load a backup firmware. so I guess it's worth a try to maybe kick the 5g modem back into a normal boot. This is the type of thing I'm trying to explain... https://youtu.be/BMT8AhA4qns
Cheers again mate. I fear you're totally bang on with this:

It's been such a pain to try and explain to Telstra what the problem is. They keep passing the buck to the back-end server team when all I want is a replacement unit to be sent. sigh.
I gave the half boot method a crack (btw I love your succinct videos, your video taking the 5G modem apart was part of the reason I decided to give Telstra 5G a shot) and I reckon it might actually work, it's just hard without being able to see the serial of the boot activity.
I wonder if I might be able to flash an older firmware on it to see if that'd work. Would you happen to know of any repository containing older firmwares I could try?
Might have been what happened to mine the day I got Covid. It just got stuck in a boot loop with no fix. Telstra support had no process to replace it, and alternated between saying they will replace, needing to take it into a store , and having a tech come and “fix” it.
Many many hours and a very helpful lady in a local Telstra call centre and they could only come up with cancelling my faulty service and recreating a new one for me. With 1 month free and free Disney plus. They of course then threatened me by billing me for the already returned faulty modem.
Great product (mostly and woeful support and billing. Telstra themselves still don’t understand that this product exists, isn’t a mobile phone but also isn’t NBN.
and they could only come up with cancelling my faulty service and recreating a new one for me.
Haha sorry to hear you had similar issues, but this made me laugh. I already beat them at their own game, it seems.
I have ordered another service to my house. So I've basically come up with an internal race for them. Either they fix my original modem first, or they just deliver a new one and I cancel the old service – whichever comes first.
It seems like it's a new enough/small enough service to them that they're still having teething issues when it comes to support. Doesn't excuse it, but I can understand the frustration of the support people who rarely deal with 5G issues.
Beat them at their own game? I think I got there, but don’t consider it a win. In the first 6 months of having the 5g service I got 2 free months as well as a $400+ credit. I have no idea how. But probably equates to minimum wage based on hours taken.
It's more that I am beating them to a solution before they even realise what to do lol
I just hope they pull their thumbs out and do something soon
Unfortunately, I don't have any access to any firmware. You could try to get the serial console and have a look, however, because it is the serial of the router and not the 5G modem it may not be of any help. (you will need a device like this https://www.jaycar.com.au/ard
