Could someone explain IP Passthru on ANY Netgear mobile router? (Someone *using* it)
I have several Netgear mobile hotspots - LTE and 5G models. I know exactly where to activate IP passthru… blah blah blah. I’ve been using double-natted connections with these for years to provid...
Hi
IP Passthrough doesn't need to have DHCP enabled. Whoever mentioned that in forum was wrong.
Just set your GW IP out of the Home router's IP range. e.g home router is on 192.168.1.1 so M5 must be 192.168.10.1
Remember you can't use IP passthrough without any other router as in passthrough mode the IP will first deliver to GW which is 10.1 here and then will be available on 1.1 which is home router. Also you can't directly connect your laptop to M5 via USB/Ethernet/Wifi as you must disable DHCP on M5, turn off Wifi and set ethernet sleep disable.
If your M5 will be on 5G tower, you will face throttling of speed on USB/Ethernet to max 200 Mbps as I tested and found the bug. Reported to support but never received any answer.
Hope this helps.
