How do I change Nighthawk M6 pro to modem only

I have an existing Netgear54 router that I want to use to hopefully set NAT to open instead of strict. Just got the M6 Pro on the 9th of Feb, 2023. Already performed an update as well. At this point, all I have been able to do is hook it up via ethernet. Pretty sure the router functions are being handled by the M6 Pro.
Thank you in advance.

  • You could either try putting the pro in passthrough mode or simply connect whatever other router you have (netgear54 is the ssid, not model) in access point mode. 

     

    Settings > Advanced > Mobile router setup >ip passthrough you'd turn on.

      I will try passthru first, not sure how to do that either. Will try to find it. The Netgear54 model is R7000. Thank you
