M2 passthrough to Nighthawk D7000v2

Hi I have an M2 setup in IP Passthrough, dhcp disabled etc. I can plug pc in on ethernet and connect to the internet fine. When I plug it into the WAN port of the Nighthawk D7000v2, it gets the internet WAN settings fine, but I am unable to access the WAN IP of the M2 or devices behind the D7000v2 are unable to get internet access.

 

I am stumped? It should work and the WAN IP etc is all being picked up, but just cant access the interent. is there a specific MAC address I need to use / restriction?

    Hi dapatter

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

     

    Can you ping the devices connected behind D7000v2? 

    Have you tried powercycling both D7000v2 and MR2100? If not, please do so and check if it make any difference.

      Yes the devices behind the router are reachable and yes the devices have been rebooted several times. I sorted out the issue, looks lile one of the SONOS speakers when plugged in was bringing down the ethernet port on the M2.
