Nighthawk M2 to Orbi Mesh
I'm going ro give the Nighthawk M2 a go and use it in passthrough mode with an Orbi RBK50 router.
I'm not technically minded, putting it into passthrough and setting up the mesh won't be a problem. Having read online though, disabling DHCP comes up a lot and also double NAT.
Could someone just possibly explain those in the context of this set up, and what the best settings would be ?
Thanks

Re: Nighthawk M2 to Orbi Mesh
Use the M2s DMZ for the Orbi router and this will avoid a double NAT issue if you want to use the Orbi router.
Otherwise you can configure the Orbi for AP Mode with the M2:
