Nighthawk M5 (MR5200) wifi connection to local router
Hi, for the internet connection I use a Nighthawk M5 (MR5200) which is very good, but I need to connect it to the wan port to the router of the local network via a wifi connection, I was wondering if it is possible and which wireless bridges can I use to have the maximum possible speed allowed by 5G.
Another question, is it possible to use multiple 5G routers to add up the internet bandwidth?
Thank you

Re: Nighthawk M5 (MR5200) wifi connection to local router
Your statement was a little confusing.
You're trying to connect the MR5200 to another router so the MR5200 is supplying the 2nd route with internet connection?
or you're wanting to connect a router that has internet already to the MR5200 so the MR5200 has failover capability?
You also might get better help from the mobile router forum for those devices.

Yes, I am trying to connect the MR5200 to another router so that the MR5200 provides the second path with internet connection!
Thank you

You should be able to hardwire a router into the mr5200.
There's a few caveats there.
- If you're wanting the mr5200 as a failover or load balancing option, your router needs to support those modes (rare)
- If you're just wanting a better router for wifi or better range, you'd want to prevent a double nat and either have the 2nd router in access point mode, the mr5200 in passthrough mode, or the 2nd routers IP address in the mr5200's DMZ.
