IP Confict issue to be aware of when using USB teathering

When the iPhone (and probally any USB modem or WAN) issues the same subnet as already used elsewhere on the routers networks (including VLANs), the USB connection will fail with errors like “WAN failed SmartCheck”.

In our discovery today, the customer was using 172.20.10.x as the Untagged LAN, the iPhone issued its hotspot network on 172.20.10.x, so we changed the customers network to make the solution work.

Something to be aware of if you find your USB teathering is not working.
Happy teathering,

Good day, tried this a few days ago on a spare device at my office, B-One 5g rev 2 and it was great. This morning trying to add to a couple B-One 5g rev 2 devices and it takes the 8.5.3-024 but then immediately reverts back to 8.5.3.
Tried to make sure I wasn’t doing something stupid before posting, used the same process that I used the other day for a successful install.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
