IP Passthrough on MR5100
Can anyone describe what IP passthrough actually does? I was looking to only use the modem part of my MR5100 to get internet to my home network. But from what I read, IP passthrough is NOT the same...
I have same issue. Using MR5100 with a Google Nest router and point. It works for a couple of minutes, then my Google Nest router "loses" the connection (IP?) to the MR5100. I thought turning ON "IP Passthrough" would pass through my assigned IP to my Google Nest router, but it seems unstable and it ultimately fails.
I then don't understand what "IP Passthrough" does if it can't assign the IP address to my Google Router. If it only works if you ethernet to a laptop or something, why would you want to even do that...That would be a 1:1 passthrough.
Put another way, does the Netgear MR5100 even work with Google products like the Nest Router and Point via the ethernet port?
