I’m going to guess not. That seems like it would be a higher-level function you’d have to do yourself using a smart router and subnets.
it supports DHCP, but the lack of access to the inner logic does’t tell me much. It’s a basic “gateway appliance”. They don’t want people mucking with internal settings. (I imagine you can find some folks who have published info online about hacking into these devices. They probably use very common FOSS code inside. I mean … it’s just a router with a 5G cellular modem attached to the WAN port, right? I think I saw something that said they've got SnapDragon CPUs inside.) Can you do this with consumer-level devices from Cox or CenturyLink? -David Schwartz > On Aug 19, 2022, at 11:52 PM, der.hans <pl...@lufthans.com> wrote: > > Am 19.
