Netgear Nighthawk M5 MR5200 WAN issue
Hi, I have a Netgear Nighthawk M5 MR5200 (ip address 192.168.1.1) that is working with the IP passthrough and it is connected to the WAN port of an Asus AX11000 (ip address 192.168.2.1). I can acces...
JohnPenghas Netgear made any progress, are there any updates on this issue? When can we expect a firmware update with some more reliable operation for Netgear's flagship Mobile Router?
Same here, random deconnection of the WAN port. IP passthrough worse than router.
(setup : Mr5200 is hooked to a sinology 2600 on its WAN part, and my DSL router on the secondary LAN for the Synology for fallback ... and it fallbacks a lot)
Having a fixed DHCP may have helped here in my case to force the DHCP of the Synology ... but well IP passthrough should work....
For now very disappointed in the product stability, especially for the price (750 euros here in France), but not really any other solution.
Trying a few days experiment by connecting to the sinology router through USB .... unfortunately the sinology USB seems limited to around 80Mbps ... but better than nothing if it stays on (The MR5200 can get me between 200 and 300Mbps where I live) vs the daily or more than daily disconnection du to loosing the ethernet from the MR5200.

Community TeamI've MR5200 international version with firmware 12.04.12 connected to wan port of my OpenWRT router, in ip-passtrhough mode. Ethernet connection is often lost and entire modem functionality is lost. I've been waiting for a beta/release firmware from months.....to fix this.
well it is much much more stable using the USB connection ... something is wrong with the ethernet port. (tried playing with the ethernet auto-off feature disable or not .. same issues)
