There is currently no way to put the device into bridge mode with current software release.

Bridge mode over the USB interface will be added in the initial maintenance release.

We do not have an exact release date at this point but likely in second half of May.

Thanks Steve,

 

Is there an ETA on the Ethernet bridging mode?

    Ethernet bridging mode is planned for a future release but no ETA at this point.

      HI Netgear Guru

       

      Any further update on this?  Do we know when the release might be available?

       

      Thanks

        Are you sure you want passthrough? Why not just disable DHCP on the nighthawk and plug the ethernet into your nighthawk.You will have to set the ip of the nighthawk as your gateway in DHCP of your router. But it should work fine as internet access for your lan that way.
