Networking and servers • Re: Using a pi 3b+ as in-car 4g router / info unit.

...

EDIT: I did see this guide on creating a router using a Raspberry Pi Zero W as a 4g router, would it be possible to do this with a Pi 3b+
https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/How_to_s ... _4G_router

Yes but be aware:

1) That document is for Buster and installs Network Manager - this is already installed on Bullseye so somethings will report errors

2) Waveshare are not known for the best support * - they have a habit of releasing kit and not bothering to update documents once the OS changes. This can be OK for the previous release while it gets support / security fixes but at some point you can end up with kit not usable or a security risk from outdated OS.

I would also question using WPA as the security type and that poor password. Use a decent password and WPA2 or WPA3 as the security type.


* YMMV but just search posts here and Reddit for examples galore.
