C7100V Bridge Mode
I have a CM600 that connects to the WAN port on Sonicwall firewall which serves as the main router for my network. I was told on Amazon's Q/A section on the product page that I could use the C7100V ...
Hi, You can go to bridge mode by going to Advanced -> Advanced Setup -> NAT Mode, and then uncheck NAT Mode On. It will update the settings and go to bridge mode. To revert back to the router mode settings, just check the NAT Mode On again.
Thanks,
Thank you!
Just so I'm sure I know what to do... After turning off NAT mode I can connect the WAN port on my Firewall to any of the ethernet ports on the C7100V and it will function just like my CM600?
Thanks again,
Scott
Actually Netgear support just told me that will not engage Bridge Mode. Bridge Mode will be available in the next firmware release. However, if I disable NAT mode I can connect it and it will work in my configuration with just an extra hop for now.
Yes you can connect the WAN port on your router, to the first port of the c7100V, just like the CM600. That will work.
Thanks!
