M5 (MR5200) - How to enable IP Passthrough?

Model is a Nighthawk M5 5G Mobile Router MR5200 (Unlocked).  I am trying to use it as (only) a modem connected to one of the WAN ports of a separate router.  I see people saying that they're using the device in this configuration "with IP Passthrough".  How do I enable that? 

 

Maybe I'm just missing it, but I cannot find IP Passthrough as an option in the admin web interface. I can only find VPN Passthrough.

 

Thanks for any help.

    Please advise your device SKU name and FW version on your device. Is it MR5200-100EUS or MR5200-100NAS?

     

    Thanks

        Please follow the steps below to enable IP Passthrough.

         

        "You can log in to WebUI and go to Seetings -> Setup -> Mobile Router Setup -> Under IP Passthrough, select ON Disable WiFi on the mobile router.

         

        You can give it a try and le me know if you have any issues. The WAN stability issue is also related carrier network. You may not see the issue for sure.

         

        Thanks"
