How to access Nighhawk M1 When in Ip Passthrough Mode (modem only)
Hi i just got the Nighthawk M1 for by buissnes as we cannot get a proper Fiber connection and DSL is WAY to slow here 0.3mb upload (sigh...)
After getting it, I setitup in Ip Passthrough Mode a...
M1 will be assigning dynamic IP to your router WAN port if IP passthrough is enabled. You can always check onthe router's WAN status, the IP assigned to the router. M1 will be stayed on the first IP address where router's WAN IP network. For example, if your router's WAN IP is on 10.188.87.100 then your M1 should be on 10.188.87.1, you can access to M1 on that specific IP address even if your PC stayed behind the router.
This is so close to working for me - thank you! I've got the M1 in IP Passthrough and that part is working fine - internet access through the router etc.
When I try to access the router using what you describe (for example the IP reported is 10.92.123.456, I try to access 10.92.123.1) it loads the title of "NETGEAR" in the browser but never actually loads the page. It just sits there loading forever.
Any clues??
What you can try is to have your PC connected to M1 via USB to Type-C cable (which come along with your M1), and you need to make sure M1 is having "Use USB Port for" set as "Charge+Tether" (under Setup->Mobile Router Setup->TETHERING".
Your PC should have one interface created, as Ethernet, after M1 booted. Browse into "192.168.1.1" to check with the browser if it works.
Assuming it will get you to M1's management pages, then you might need to check on your Router's configuration if it blocks any access, disable firewall as first check point.
And, if that does not work, you might need to check with different browser, some of users were reporting problems with the cache from the browser.
