    Yours is AT&T M1. To set the M1 as dedicated modem, you can try to disable Wifi and enable IP Passthrouhg on M1. Then connect the mesh system to M1's ethernet port.

      Thank you for the reply.  It's frustrating that the firmware page redacts the ability to manually upload the file.  Oh well, I'll give it another shot.
