Nighthawk X6 R8000 web browser indicates no internet
Dears,
My configuration of network is like this:
Huawei B715 LTE modem -> Nighthawk X6 R8000 as a router.
I noticed that there is problem with quick response and website opening. Many times website can not be open in the first time (website not available) or it is opening really long time.
I have tried to turn on Wifi on B715 and directly connect to the modem. In this case there is no any issue. I can open several websites in quickly way without any error or long time opening. It is rapid reaction without any lagging.
It means tha LTE connection is fast and stable.
Whenever I try to do the same with X6 it is dissaster. I have tried to came back to default parameters but it is the same. Finally I changed X6 Router to Access Point and then it works perfect.
Why Netgear Router is blocking/lagging internet traffic?. Which parametr make this trouble?
(I have turn off QoS/Traffic metter/Security/Children blocking etc.)
Please support me in this case
ps. sorry for bad English.

The Huawei B715 LTE is a modem router. This is asking for trouble.
Two routers on your network can cause headaches. For example, you can end up with local address problems. Among other things, the other router can misdirect addresses that the Netgear router usually handles, such as routerlogin.net or the usual IP address for a router, 192.168.1.1.
This explains some of the other drawbacks.

What support do you want? You have found out what the problem is and have come up with a solution that works.
The only problem you face is this:
Disabled Features on the Router when set to AP Mode | Answer | NETGEAR SupportIf you don't like what is happening, then an alternative option would be to investigate the possibility of using the Huawei B715 LTE into modem only (bridge) mode.
Dear Michael,
thank You for quick answer.
Right now it is clear for me đ I did not know that router-router can be an issue, even b715 was working in limited way.
I have branded B715 and I can not see Bridge (Play provider in Poland) option. I will re-flash it to orginal firmware, soon.
Currently I wil switch X6 to AP mode.
thx
Peter
