Nighthawk M6 Pro

Hello,

I would like to establish Internet access via the M6 for my existing WLAN with the mesh routers. The M6 should have switched off the WLAN and no DHCP server should run there. The mobile access is intended to temporarily replace the omitted cable modem access until the fiber optic connection is laid. Access should be via LAN cable. The M6 should work like a modem.

How do I configure the M6 for this?

Thank you very much for your help

Thomas

    Hi Thomtenh10

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

     

    Kindly access M6 Web UI, go to Settings > Advanced > Mobile Router Setup

     

    set IP Passthrough to 'ON'
    checked Ethernet 'Enabled'

     

    Then connect an Ethernet cable to the M6 and to your existing router.
