# Alpine 5G Router – Quick Start
|
||
|
||
Get a new device from zero to 5G router in a few steps.
|
||
|
||
## Prerequisites
|
||
|
||
- Raspberry Pi 5 (or compatible) with Alpine Linux installed
|
||
- Fibocom FM350-GL modem connected via USB (Mode 40: 0e8d:7126)
|
||
- SIM card with data (e.g. CYTA Cyprus, APN `internet`)
|
||
|
||
## 1. Clone repo on the device (or copy files)
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# If you have git on the device:
|
||
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USER/Alpine_5G.git /tmp/Alpine_5G
|
||
cd /tmp/Alpine_5G
|
||
|
||
# Or: copy the repo (e.g. scp -r Alpine_5G root@device:/tmp/)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## 2. Install packages (on the device)
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Enable community repo if needed
|
||
sed -i 's|#.*community|http://mirrors.neterra.net/alpine/v3.23/community|' /etc/apk/repositories
|
||
apk update
|
||
apk add iptables libmbim-tools qmi-utils
|
||
# Optional: dnsmasq for LAN DHCP/DNS, speedtest-cli for speedtests
|
||
apk add dnsmasq speedtest-cli
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## 3. Run install script
|
||
|
||
From the repo root:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd /tmp/Alpine_5G
|
||
chmod +x scripts/install.sh
|
||
./scripts/install.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This installs:
|
||
|
||
- `/etc/5g-router.conf` (from example – edit if needed)
|
||
- `/usr/local/bin/connect-5g.sh`, `status-5g.sh`, `healthcheck-5g.sh`, etc.
|
||
- `/etc/init.d/5g-router` (OpenRC service)
|
||
- `/etc/iptables/rules.v4`
|
||
- Enables `5g-router` at boot
|
||
|
||
## 4. Edit config (if needed)
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
vi /etc/5g-router.conf
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Set at least:
|
||
|
||
- `APN` – e.g. `internet` for CYTA
|
||
- `WAN_IF` / `LAN_IF` – default `eth1` and `eth0.100` are usually correct
|
||
|
||
Optional: `FAILOVER_ENABLED=yes` and `FAILOVER_IF=eth0` to use ethernet when 5G is down.
|
||
|
||
## 5. Start 5G and test
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
service 5g-router start
|
||
# Or run once:
|
||
/usr/local/bin/connect-5g.sh
|
||
|
||
# Check status
|
||
/usr/local/bin/status-5g.sh
|
||
|
||
# Test connectivity
|
||
ping -c 3 8.8.8.8
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## 6. Enable iptables restore at boot (if not already)
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
rc-update add iptables-restore default
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Done
|
||
|
||
The device will bring up 5G at boot. To restart 5G: `service 5g-router restart`.
