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...
Hi All,
For M5 Ethernet port connection stability issue, I have raised the case to the internal team and hope we can have a solution soon. The root cause of the issue may be related to WWAN side data connection reset by the carrier after certain period of time without data transferring, but the device fails to refresh the IP to the Ethernet client after the connection is resumed.
Thanks for your patience.
Hi John
Is there any progress with this?
Thanks,

One thing I did as a workaround instead of using it as a "WAN passthrough" – I use it as a regular network connection but give the connected router DMZ access. Doing this kind of gives me the functionality I need, without dropping the connection every other day.
- Could you give a dummy a little more info on how to setup like you got it. I can not make it stable on pass through have to reboot all the time 2 problems one it will let lease expire and the ip goes to zero. then the other is speed goes to crap and have to reboot. I got it to work ok by putting M5 in router mode and putting a tplink extender near by. The range on 5Gwifi sucks 18 feet away one wall and it barely has any 5gwifi. it is really slow in router mode connected to an extender like 50M. In pass through when working and connected to my asus router I get 200-250 but then it will just not move data even though speed test is good that’s why I was curious about your set up 5G cellular not on yet where I am
