NETGEAR Nighthawk M7 Pro - Enable or Disable IP Passthrough from the Web User Interface

Enable or disable IP passthrough
from the web user interface
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.
NOTE: Most carriers issue a private wireless wide area network (WWAN) IP
address to your device. Some carriers have special plans that issue a public
WWAN IP, or can add a public WWAN IP to your existing plan for an additional
charge. Contact your carrier for more information if your situation requires a
public WWAN IP address.
To enable or disable IP passthrough from the web user interface:
1. From the web user interface dashboard, select Settings > Advanced > Mobile
Router Setup.
The Mobile Router Setup page displays.
2. Select the IP Passthrough ON or OFF button.
If you select ON, additional options display:
a. From the Type menu, select IP passthrough over Ethernet or USB.
b. Enter a MAC address.
3. Tap Apply.
Your mobile hotspot asks you to confirm that it must restart to enable or disable IP
passthrough.
4. Tap Continue.
Your mobile hotspot restarts with IP passthrough enabled or disabled.
