Typo, sorry. We talk of a WAX625 here, or any WAX6xx, like a WAX615, WAX618, WAX620, WAX625, WAX628, WAX630, WAX630E, WAX638E, or similar.

Afraid, different from some of the the Essential WAC (select WAC2xx only), the WAC625 does not contain a full NAT router, and can't serve as a featured NAT router to beyond of the available SSID NAT allowing some many-2-one for the wireless clients - but definitely not for an additional wired device.

Thank you for the confirmation. I will dig up a wireless router to replace the Spectrum router. Although I have nothing in a wireless WIFI 6 router, I can cover that with the WAX625 and my bandwidth to/from the internet doesn't warrant the 2.5G port on the Spectrum wireless router. I most likely have some ASUS 1900 wireless routers that will fill the bill.

I am assuming that your use of WAC in "the WAC625 does not contain" is a typo and that you meant WAX625. Is that correct? I had to check the config menu to make sure there was no 'NAT' choice in it.

Yes! I just realized that my last message contained the word 'update' which should have been 'upgrade'. DOH!
Thanks again.
