Mobile Nighthawk M5 connection to Home router
Object: connecting all my home internet devices to mobile nighthawk M5 via home router ie better wifi coverage. What setting do I have to change to connect my home router to the Mobile Nighthawk M5....
You should still able to use the ethernet ports on the asus.
the difference basically comes down to which features you want to use.
In passthrough mode, the routing functions on the netgear are disabled, its a modem only device.
In the asus, you'd have to check with their forums/support on what features are disabled in their access point mode.
My ASUS router does have AP mode as an option.
So as I understand it I have to options:
1. Turn off the IP Pass Through & DHCP on the Nighthawk
or
2. Put my ASUS router into AP mode
With either of these options I assume you can still use the remaining Lan port on the Asus router?
Are there any difference in the performance between the two options.
