So,
I want to be able to connect to my Raspberry Pi locally through Wi-Fi with my phone. I want to use a QR code to connect to the Wi-Fi; I don't want to set the IP manually.
However, when I connect my phone to the Wi-Fi, it also receives a gateway. My phone then complains that the Wi-Fi doesn't have an internet connection, which is correct and intentional.
If I connect my PC to the Raspberry Pi via wired Ethernet and set the IP manually on the Ethernet adapter without configuring a gateway, the PC still has internet access through the already connected Wi-Fi (not the Raspberry Pi Wi-Fi). If I set a gateway, I lose internet access because the PC tries to connect to the internet through the configured gateway.
So, I guess what I want is to be able to connect to my Raspberry Pi over Wi-Fi with my phone without losing the internet connection it already has through mobile data (4G/5G). I want to access the web server on the Raspberry Pi and Google my favorite restaurant at the same time.
Existing connection, using nmcli.
Best regards
