MR5100 throttles download speed on ethernet upon using IP passthrough

Hello mates   When I am activating IP Passthrough on my MR5100 for static WAN IP, and use the ethernet port, the download speed throttles to max 200 Mbps although my backbone is 5G and I have 700-8...

    you are  right 😞 , this is due to different design M5 vs M6.

Dear mcuadrado

 

So this means there is no possibility to fix this issue in M5 series?

 

Cheers

    Thanks for confirmation, sadly I should sell my M5 and go for RM520-GL modems although so far I have had 3 Netgear Nighthawk routers 😞

    ...another device with a x62 Qualcomm Chip, just like the M6 or M6 Pro.

    may I ask why you need IPT , as you can have NAT with DMZ with full tput ?

    Have web servers at home and have Public IP, tried to put my home router in DMZ of M5, some ports never opened. I had to do port forwarding on M5 for making it.

    Also for XBOX, the same solution I applied.

    In general, Netgear should think about this before releasing M5 and throttled the speed. When my tower delivers 700-800 Mbps, so why I couldn't use the IPTT? 

    In M1, I was sure that having 200Mbps is somehow perfect in LTE, but when you pay for M5 and 5G, then this throttling is not acceptable.
