I have a Telstra M1 connected to a Netgear R7000 via Ethernet without any issues. The M1 is replacing an ADSL modem on my existing network. The M1 has default settings other than wifi ssid/passwords. All network distribution is handled by R7000.
Now to get the Data Offloading to work with Telstra AIR???

    Thanks Wazzal,

    Thats interesting.... did you connect the M1 via the ethernet port or WAN port on the R7000 (Assuming the R7000 has a WAN port) ???

    Hi Wazzal

     

    Please read my post to Steve today ( post 19 ). Can't get my M1 ethernet port to work with my 16 port unmanaged switch.

     

    Have also read the way you have solved it and will try.  Have you connected your R7000 to a switch as well.

     

    I need to create a network comprising of 16 data points.

     

    Have just bought a 16 port unmanaged switch, but as am sure you will understand from my other post, my NightHawk M1 is not connecting to the switch so am not able to network.

     

    So if I connect to  M1 to R7000, will I then be able to connect R7000 to the unmanaged switch.

     

    Can I do this without needing to change any settings with the R7000 - or do I need to do a few things with it, and if so, what?

     

    New to this, so need all the help I can get.

     

    Thanks

    Hi Wazzal,

    I'm trying to do exactly the same setup and having troubles. I want to connect a Telstra M1 to an R7000P router without much luck. Is there any chance you could please let me know what settings you changed on the M1 and the R7000 ? Thanks, Nev.
