Nighthawk M5 Mobile Router [Connect it to another Router]
A few hours ago, I plugged my Hotspot M5 Mobile Router to my TP Link Router via Ethernet cable into the WAN plug...and it worked!
Right off the bad everything was working...and then...I didn't have internet anymore on my TP Link. It kepts saying it had internet, but I couldn't surf the net or do anything internet related. I've hours trying to figure this out.
Thing's I've done:
enabled IP Pass Through
Turn off DCHP server in the mobile settings
disabled Ethernet standby
How can I make my mobile hotspot act as a modem correctly? It was working before, and now it's not! It's driving me nuts.
I even made sure to go to my TP link and give it permission, I just don't understand.
Any advice for a workflow would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Nighthawk M5 Mobile Router [Connect it to another Router]
Alright, after walking away and coming back, I realized that this router is not using my Mint Mobile Unlimited Data Plan, but my HotSpot Data, which was capped at 5GB and I had 4.98GB left. That's why it still read it had internet, but in truth it didn't have anymore Data, once I renewed it, everything was working.
This is my first hotspot router, is there a way for this thing to use the data plan, instead of the hotspot data?

Thats on the ISP on how they interpret the connection. In a phone, it'd be a data plan (unless you turned on the phone's hotspot). Connected to a hotspot, they consider it hotspot. Its not something the end user controls
