Mesh network devices for Netgear MR5100?
What mesh system will work with a Netgear MR5100? We are in a 3500 sq two-story house. Previously we managed (barely) to cover the house for cameras and security system with a Netgear Nighthawk AX6 r...
"MR5100 has an Ethernet Port that can be connected to any WiFi Router.
A few settings in the MR5100 need to be configured correctly."
This is correct solution.
Please set your network following the steps below.
1. Connect your Mesh system's WAN port to MR5100 Ethernet port
2. Enable IP Passthrough on MR5100 to allow M5 to pass the carrier IP to your mesh system to avoid double NAT'ing.
3. You can also disable WiFi on MR5100

I have a net gear nighthawk mr5100 and I recently purchased a deco 20 mesh system. As soon as I connect the Ethernet cable the internet stops working causing me to have to factory reset the mifi. Disabling the wife (activating the pass through) then will not allow me to log back in to turn the Wi-Fi back on. I just want some simple step by step instructions that actually work. Can anyone help?
