Hello,

With wifi antena I receive a (rather weak) signal that connect my
computer to internet. I have to use windsurfer antena booster
(http://members.multiweb.nl/schaaijw/windsurfer_wifi_en.pdf)
to get usable signal. So my computer have internet signal from
wifi antena - yay great thing :)

Now I also want to connect to internet with my mobile phone!
So I got a wifi router (Mi Router 4C made by Xiaomi)
(web site https://www.mi.com/global/product/mi-router-4c/
documentation https://manuals.plus/_mi/mi-router-4c-manual)

As it turn out I am not so bright to make this whole setup working :(
I pluged in new router to power and connected ethernet cable from my
computer to router WAN connection. (I belive this is how it should be
connected togheder)

>From now I had some partial successes and whole lot of problems.
I will describe what I tried later, but I would like to ask you now
How do I proceed from now on to set up router?


I tried lot of setup and none worked. Here I will describe one that
i hope should work - but does not :(

While I was seting up router as described in
https://manuals.plus/_mi/mi-router-4c-manual
in Step 2 (point 3) it said I do not have internet.
So I choose to manualy set up 'Static address' for
router as folows (my computer has IP address 192.168.231.3):

     IP address: 192.168.231.5
    Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.231.3
            DNS: 192.168.231.3

After all this setup I could issue those commands on my desktop:

(this is my desktop IP address - just to show it works)
boza@redmoon:~/work
$ ping 192.168.231.3

(this is new router IP address)
boza@redmoon:~/work

So ping work as expected but when i look on my mobile phone and
connect wirelesly to router and on phone I look with browser at
address 192.168.31.1 (this is addres router is using when i look
from phone) it show me that I can connet from mobile phone to router
(with green line on the picture it shows) but I can not connect
to internet (it shows red line from router to internet)

I hope someone will be able to give me some hint how to solve
this issue and be able to connect to internet from router - and
connected phone.
