Nighthawk App without link internet port

hi,in my area i haven't fast internet (FTTH and more)for this reason I have internet by antenna and I connect without the internet port of the router. Nighthawk App can't connect (can't ignore that setup with, ex, a touch button). how can i fix it or do i have to give up on not having the router parameters on the phone? thanks

  • so you have internet through an antenna connection. 

    It must have its own routing capabilities if you're hookingg the router through the lan port? 

    sorry, the description leaves out a lot of details. 

    Have you tried the RAX in ap mode? (access point)

    That disables its routing capabilities and leaves whatever is controlling your antenna setup running the routing capabilities.

      I have the antenna and its cable rj-45 through lan port (not WAN) and i have an another upstream router of my internet operator that it is not under my control. I'm limited but the internet works quite well; for example, for port forwarding I have to hit the phone (sorry, I don't know if I answered the question).
      I try to set the ap mode and I'll let you know if I've solved the fact
