MR2100 IP Passthrough mac user warning

Hello everyone,

On the MR2100 user manual (as in the MR1100, by the way), regarding the IP passthrough is a warning for mac users that says :

"This feature is available to Windows computer users. If you are a Mac user, do not enable this option because you will be unable to access your device."

Can someone explain technically why there is a difference between Windows and mac os (and/or ios ?) enabling the feature ? And practically, does it mean that once enabled in a mac environment, one is unable to access the settings through the app and/or a computer ?

I intend to use the Nighthawk as a modem that would deliver access to the internet via an ethernet ethernet cable to a router that manages my private wired network and delivers the wifi. Is it impossible if I am equipped with macs / ios devices ?

Thanks in advance for the answers you will be able to give me !
