LAA and IP Passthrough

LAA and IP Passthrough

I have my MR1100 set with IP passthrough, and letting my Orbi mesh router do all of the routing and wifi work.  This disables wifi on the MR1100.  I was just noticing a cellular setting that says "LAA" can use the 5ghz wifi to increase LTE throughput.  Am I missing out on something by not having this?  I assume I can't have this and the IP passthrough?

No, you are completly fine. To keep it simple, the M1 uses your 5gz band to boost the singal for the LAA if available in your area to give you better speeds.

Yes, but given that I'm in passthrough mode, thus my wifi is disabled, does that mean I'm not getting advantage of this LAA capability?
