Slow internet with ip passthrough mode on MR5200 (M5 - 5G device)
I am testing a IP Passthrough mode on the Netgear M5. It limits the speed of the connection to ~200Mbps when enabled. When I revert to normal (router) mode and double-nat, the connection speed is 50...
Strange behavior can you verify if the slower Throughput rate from the MR5 end or the router connected to it.
Both - I connected it directly to the ethernet port (of two different devices) for testing.
And after the last firmware update, passthrough mode stopped working altogether.

- Extremely disappointing, they killed the option rather than fixing it. Had high hopes for this 5G router.
Any feedback from support? - I’m facing the same issue with MR5100 NTGX55_10.12.05.00 FW from Zain Kuwait. IP Passthrough disables the internet and I gonna return the unit as this is the only reason I got it in the first place.
In router GUI dashboard, it shows that Zain KW(5G) Not connected.
Netgear should fix this ASAP as this is one of the main advantages to make me choose Netgear over Huawei
