Introduction

  • The Milesight 4G router is being used to connect the Raspberry Pi (BirdNET-Pi) computer to the 4G network and hence the internet.
  • The Milesight 4G router behaves in a similar way to a home internet router.
  • The Milesight 4G router can also be used to access the Raspberry pi computer from the internet using SSH (Secure Shell).
  • These instructions will explain how to configure the Milesight router.

Home Network

  • When the Milesight Router was initially connected to the Raspberry Pi (BirdNET-Pi) the Raspberry Pi was also connected using WiFi to my home router.
  • Unfortuately both networks shared the same address range which was 192.168.1.* and the same

When a computer is connected to two networks, and both of these networks share the same address range, such as both using the IP address range 192.168.1.*, it can lead to what is known as an "IP address conflict." An IP address conflict occurs when two devices on the same network segment (in this case, the computer connected to both networks) have been assigned the same IP address. This situation can result in various networking issues:
