LAX20 Bridge mode
I needed a LTE modem that had the possibility to operate in bridge mode, so after some searching I came across this link: https://kb.netgear.com/31163/How-to-change-4G-LTE-Modem-from-router-mode-...
Hi BHL315
I got an update from the team.
LAX20 does not support bridge mode for LTE. The LAX20 user manual has bridge mode instruction but that is for wireless bridge mode and not for LTE.

Hi Blanca_O,
does the LAX20 support the so called WISP or EXTENDER Mode to take internet connection from a WIFI Hotspot and share it over the LAX20's own WIFI? If yes, is it possible over 2.4 GHz and/or 5 GHz?
Thank you for your help!

Hi Cybertax
Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
You can wirelessly bridge LAX20 to another router to connect multiple devices at the faster WiFi speed. You can specify the settings of the other router to which this router will connection (2.4GHz or 5GHz).

Community TeamYeah, that is not what this thread is about at all, this is IP bridge / IP passthrough, in other words, IP Bridge mode, not wireless bridge, and that is something else completely.
