Night hawk M5 & patch panel
Hi,
Is there a fundamental reason why I cannot connect à Nighthawk MR2500 to a patch panel through an RJ45 on the tethering plug? It does not work.
Is it only because my patch panel is old (D-link 10/100 switch DES-1016D)?
To offer some context: we wanted to replace a satellite connection with a modem-router by the 5G Mobile router.
Thanks in advance,
Taishin
If that resolved it, you might mark it solved so others aren't still trying to fix it.
glad it works again!

Do you mean the MR5200?
You should be able to connect a switch to it.
The one you listed is a pretty simple 10/100mbps unmanaged switch.
Do devices work if directly plugged into it?
