2862ac and TP Link AC750 / MR200 was created by danzinsky
I'm trying to get a TP Link AC750 4G Router to work on WAN2.

The TP Link has a good 4G connection and I have an IP address on WAN2 (from the TP Link router) but there is no internet connection from any device on the 2862 LAN through WAN2.

Can anyone help me with settings?

You'll need to provide more information:
1. how is the MR200 connected to the 2862, I'm guessing via ethernet cable?
2. How is your WAN2 setup, static/dynamic IP or PPoE and the 2862 is authenticating the 4G connection?
3. Is this your primary WAN connection or are you using failover or load balancing?
4. What diagnostics have you done, have you attempted a PING from the 2862 forcing it to use WAN2?

1. Connected by ethernet
2. Static/Dynamic IP - the TP Link router is authenticating the 4G connection
3. Used for load balancing
4. Ping times out

I think the problem may be with the TP Link router - it is running NAT and its own DHCP. Unfortunately there is no way to disable all this so I think I need to look for a different solution??

My first impression was why not use a USB dongle plugged into the 2862, far less complex and should just work providing it's on the supported dongle list

Unfortunately I only get a 4G signal in the loft so I can only connect the 2 routers by ethernet.

That's tricky then. No idea if this would work but what about USB over ethernet?
