I have a USB modem that works perfectly with Ubuntu but doesn't work with my Wifi router.

I want a set-up where the USB modem is connected to my PC and my PC is connected to my Router (via ethernet) and I can share/forward the net connection via the Router to other appliances. (Basically, a workaround for my modem not being supported by the Router).

  • Router: TP-Link TL-MR3220
  • Ubuntu version: 14.04
  • Modem: ZTE AC 8700 EVDO
  • ISP: BSNL EVDO

Additional Info:

I've tried doing Internet Connection Sharing on Windows 7 but it didn't work. Couldn't figure out how to do this in Ubuntu either.

Similar question that didn't help me: How do I share my Ubuntu's Internet connection with a LAN (via hardware router)

Thanks in advance! enter image description here
