If you connect an RJ45 into the PAW ethernet connector, this will work today
This feature has been available since 2019
Thx

So it looks like the weather from the internet and the Paw.Local go down the RJ45 but iGRID and SkyDemon’s connection doesn’t. Is this the case or am I doing something wrong?

The main reason for this is to have the internet for my devices from the 4G network while SkyDemon can connect to PAW.

PAW connected to router via wlan1=192.168.2.1
Lan has been connected with and without Wi-Fi for test (eth0=192.168.2.2)
Router ip address out the way on random number 192.168.2.*

Currently I have two iPads. One connected to the PAW Wi-Fi (wlan0=192.168.1.1) which SkyD works with no internet. The other is connected to the 4G Lan and that has the PAW radar screen/menu etc. WITH the internet for other notifications etc.

This is fine but just wondering if either the internet can be passed through to the PAW Wi-Fi connections or the SkyD information could be passed back to the 4G Router? I guess the latter is a bit easier, maybe ‘if no clients on wlan0 then plumb info down eth0’ ?

Very nice!
Ive not found a dongle that can use external aerials? We are looking to get 4G signal as high and reliably possible.

So I have been testing a small 4G router, with the traditional aerials it seems to be working to 5-6kft currently, ordering some different aerials for testing. I have the router set to ‘Passthrough’ due to how the PAW is expecting a tether from a phone, currently this only allows one device to be connected to the internet. Do you think you can also add a feature to connect the iGRID via the Lan connection? This means I will be able to connect my other devices to the router and have 4G internet to phone etc at these higher altitudes? I am playing with ways to do it but I guess for others to this might be the easiest way to make it available for everyone.
