Cannot get my RBR850 to operate with my Nighthawk M6 Pro
I have an NetGear Nighthawk M6 pro 5G hotspot that is my only access to the internet. I have an ORBI RDR850 that I was able to use with my old 4G Nighthawk hotspot but when I hook up the rj45 cable ...
Do you have the new router in passthrough mode or the orbi in access point mode? otherwise you're in a double nat

Hi Gr84caster
Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
May we please know the device SKU (e.g. MR6500-1A1NAS)? This can be checked on the box of the product or on the barcode label
Kindly access M6 Web UI, go to General > Power Manager > change Power Manager Profile to Performance. Once done, check if you can go online wired to the M6.

I logged into my nighhawk and it will not allow me to select "performance" for my power setting. Do I need to activate the ethernet before I can do this?
- So my issue was finally resolved. There was a DNS conflict and it was allowing data to flow from my hotspot. Once that was resolved then setting up the ORBI was a snap.
Thanks. I changed the settings on the Orbi. It didn't work but I believe that there is an issue with the NightHawk as well. I'll post an update once NetGear gets the NightHawk working properly.
