NETGEAR MR7500 - Enable or Disable IP Passthrough

NOTE: After enabling the Ethernet port, its behavior varies depending on how
you are using your hotspot:
•
If operating in Plugged-In Mode, the Ethernet port remains enabled for as
long as the device is plugged in.
•
If operating on battery power, the Ethernet port goes to sleep after two
minutes if a connection is not made. When the Ethernet port is in sleep mode,
you can quickly press and release the Power button to wake it.
To enable or disable Ethernet:
1. Quickly press and release the Power button to wake your mobile hotspot.
The lock screen displays.
2. Swipe up to unlock your mobile hotspot.

3. Tap Ethernet.
The Ethernet page displays.
The icon in the top right corner displays ON or OFF to indicate the current Ethernet
status.
4. Tap the ON or OFF icon.
Your mobile hotspot asks you to confirm that it must restart to enable or disable
Ethernet.
5. Tap Continue.
Your mobile hotspot restarts with Ethernet enabled or disabled.
Enable or disable IP passthrough
Depending on how you use your mobile hotspot, you might want to enable IP
passthrough. When IP passthrough is enabled, your mobile hotspot takes the IP address
that your cellular service provider assigned to your device and passes it through to a
connected device.
Enabling IP passthrough can help prevent a double network address translation (double
NAT) scenario when you connect your mobile hotspot to a downstream routing device.
When double NAT occurs, you might experience problems with secure websites that
use SSL, VPN connections, online games, and other communication problems.
