Netgear Nighthawk M6 Pro and Deco Mesh M4 - settings?
Hello! I just picked up the M6 and I have on hand the Deco Mesh M4. I'd like to connect them, but I am unsure of the settings that need to be toggled on the M6. Is there anyone who has experience with the Deco and knows what the proper settings are?
Thank you!

1. You should operate M6 without battery
2. Connect the ethernet cable to your mesh system.
Using default settings should work. You can try to enable IPT mode as well when using ethernet port with a mesh system.
Thanks
Look into what experienced users have deployed on the M6 Pro in combination with a Mesh system, with the primary device in router mode: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Cell-Service-Mobile-Hotspot/How-to-connect-M6-pro-to-existing-router/m-p/2241096/highlight/true#M22082
Alternate approach is using the M6 Pro in IP Passthrough mode and connect the Mesh system in router mode, as one would do when connecting for example to a cable modem - appears there are some performance concerns however.
