Nighthawk M1 - DHCP server: fixed IP

I find the DHCP server configuration very basic. I’m missing a “MAC address -> specific IP address table”...   In the advanced setup I can configure DMZ and redirect traffic to a specific IP addres...

Nope, you are not missing anything. The software behind nighthawk is very poor. I am also looking for at least MAC address IP association table or a better port forwarding experience (like forward port 80 to a different IP port 8080). Such Basic features are missign. I am little disappointed after 1 year of usage of this router. When i reported bugs in nightawk's software related to custom carries, support that i contacted with was not interested in any way.It's a pity.

    To your knowledge, do you know a 4G router that would have more advanced "router" functionalities?

     

    Thanks,
