NIGHTHAWK M6 - Combining internet connections.

Hi guys.  I have just grabbed an M6 Nighthawk and I see it has the option to connect to a WiFi connection as well as providing the outgoing WiFi

 

My question is - if you chose the setting "Wifi AND Cellular" and opposed to just "Cellular".  is it combining those combinations (perhaps prioritising WIFI) - essentially bonding, or is it simply choosing WiFi when available?

 

I ask as i need stability above everything so can't risk the WiFi cutting out and losing the connection while it recconects to cellular..

 

Thanks for your help

    It acts as more of like a failover. Netgear's term is "offloading". It should actually say more like Cellular OR WiFi. They are not combined/aggregated, it's just one or the other.
