Can NightHawk M2 provide Wi-Fi when connected to the internet via an Ethernet wall jack?

Hi:

 

I am about to purchase a NightHawk MR2100 and would like use it at work, too.

 

But at work the Wi-Fi router will be connected to the internet through the Exthernet wall jack.

 

So, here is my question:

 

Can NightHawk MR2100 provide Wi-Fi when connected to the internet through an Ethernet wall jack?

 

In other words, does the Ethernet Port of MR2100 can be used to connect the router to an Ethernet wall jack and let the router provide Wi-Fi?

 

Thanks so much fin advance!

Hi @MyNightHawkM2 ,

 

You can use the Ethernet Offloading feature to obtain connectivity via the wall socket and use the MR2100 as a WiFi access point.  Once you disconnect from the wall socket(if ethernet offloading is enabled) it will fall back to using the mobile network.

 

Regards,
