Nighthawk M5 (MR5200) used as Internet Failover Device In My Home
I just recieved my Nighthawk M5 (MR5200). I'd like to use this device as internet failover device in my home when I'm not using it as a mobile hotspot. To do this I'd need to have it connected via it's ethernet connector to my home gateway/router which has the intelligence to failover to another port if my comcast internet goes down. I'd also need to turn wifi off on the M5. I know I can do the latter but am not sure if the M5 can provide internet to devices connected via the network connector or whether this connection can only be used to offload devices connected via wifi to minimize cellular data load. Any know if my use case is supported?
PS - I tried plugging in the model number into the Model field for this post but it is not yet a legal selection.....:)

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Mobile Router products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with mobile routers and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Mobile-Routers-Hotspots-Modems/bd-p/aircard
