Usb cable and ethernet cable not working

Hello! Dose anyone know how i can use usb and ethernet together? I try to share internet to both. If i turn usb on it will turn off the ethernet cable. The reason i want to use the usb cable is because it's faster mbit on my internet. Don't know why but i lose 30-40 mbit. Fastest device i have is a vivo nex s and it will give me 30 mbit more than this device. And thats a bit strange :( This i s a good device but not that good compared to my cellphone. I connect the ethernet cable to my vpn router and my thought is to connect usb to my computer. But that dosen't work. Any advice?

    this is directly from the manual:

    When you are using an Ethernet connection, you can use the USB type C cable and the AC adapter to
    recharge the mobile router battery.


    You cannot use an Ethernet connection and a tethered USB connection at the same
    time to access the mobile router. Creating a tethered USB connection puts the
    LAN/WAN port to sleep. To use the LAN/WAN port later, disconnect the USB
    connection, press the Power button, and wait for the LAN/WAN port to wake up.

  • Not 100% because I don't have one. 

    When you connect the M1 to the router, are you placing the router in access point mode? The M1 has an integrated router function and running them both would have you in a double nat.

      Hi! I don't think i can change any modes. I find something that is called dhcp and it's on. It's confusing to me why they build this hotspot router and it can only provide one ip when a cable is pluged in. I also need to config the usb from data+charging to only charging. Otherwise it will cut off the ethernet cable. It has two outputs usb and ethernet. Wifi still works with one off these cable plugde in. I think the problem is netgear and how they build things but this dosen't make any sence to me.
