M3 (MH3150) with USB-C to Ethernet adapter (USB2ETH) does not charge and has no Ethernet connection.
Hello, I purchased the M3 along with the original Netgear USB-C Ethernet adapter, but unfortunately, this combination doesn't seem to work—even though the adapter is supposed to be compatible wit...
Hi everyone,
I think I’ve found the solution to both problems.
The router can only be charged via the adapter if a PD-compatible charger is used.
A standard 5V USB charger works when connected directly to the router, but not when using the adapter.
The Ethernet issue was resolved via a menu setting. Although the setting's exact function and meaning aren't clear to me—likely due to a potentially incorrect translation—I figured it out through trial and error:
Settings > General > Internet
and uncheck the box for "Ethernet adapter."
After that, the internet connection via LAN cable worked.

Give the readers a little bit more insight please.
Does the M3 work as a data "modem" for the mobile Internet (and your computer or whatever is connected) does get a public or Carrier Grade NAT address assigned) connected on the LAN port, or
Does the router now work like a common NAT router (able to serve more devices on the LAN), handing out some RFC1918 Private IP addresses by DHCP?
