Nighthawk M2

Hi All, this may seem a silly question but I will ask anyway. I have Nighthawk M2 mobile internet router and also a D7000 router. In coming months I will not have cable internet at all, and will have to rely on mobile broadband for a while. I was wondering if I could plug the D7000 into the mobile routers one ethernet connection and use mutiple ethernet outs on the D7000.

    Latest M2 firmware does support IP Passthrough mode which allows you to connect another router behind. You might need to check if D7000's WAN Ethernet port does support DHCP mode (can't tell this from its specification from Netgear web site), you can then have them worked for an alternative Internet connection.
