Nighthawk M1 Hotspot & Nighthawk X6 R8000
Are there any benefits of connecting a M1 hotspot to a X6 R8000 router? Sorry I am not computer savy but I have the X6 R8000 and I would think the range it outputs would be far superior to the M1 bu...
And here's the final part 2c, which I had to remove IP addresses from to get it to post...
I don’t know the X6 R8000, so hopefully someone else will advise you on this. My access points are both full modem/routers in which I have disabled DHCP, firewall, etc. I also needed to change their gateway IP addresses because they were set to the same address as the M1. I put them in the same subnet as the M1 but outside the DHCP range of the M1. You can change the DHCP range in the M1 if you need to. When you change the IP address of your router you will initially lose access to its interface - you need to use the new address to gain access again.
Now go to part 2 above...sorry for the disjointed nature of this reply - I haven't encountered this problem before in this forum :robotfrustrated:
