Nighthawk m1100 IP passthrough

[SarahJo]

I see many of us have the issue of the Nighthawk IP passthrough feature not working properly when connected to an external router via ethernet cable. The router works fine when connected to the nighthawk until you turn on IP passthrough on the Nighthawk. AT&T technical support staff are useless and tell you to call Netgear. 

Has anyone found a way to make this feature work?

I have MR1100-100EUS and bridge mode with wifi router works perfectly.

Do you know if the bridge mode allows the vpn passthrough function to work? That is my main reason for wanting ip passthrough to work. I want to use a vpn service using the m1100 as my internet.

Yes I know, just tested Cisco Anyconnect VPN and it works, when MR1100 in bridge mode.

I do not have a "bridge mode" setting. From what I can tell the settiing for IP passthrough is bridge mode, how did you get yours to work?

Here is how I did it:

Tested and it works and this allows me to access M1's web management page from Wifi router side.
