In '''Passthrough''' mode the router assigns its WAN IP address to another device. It is used instead of [[Network Address Translation]] (NAT) in order to make the router "transparent" in the communication process. It is very similar to '''Bridge''' mode, except in Passthrough mode other devices can still connect to the router and get a LAN IP address and Internet access, while Bridge mode also disables the router's DHCP Server.

In '''Passthrough''' mode the router assigns its WAN IP address to another device instead of [[Network Address Translation]] (NAT). It is similar to '''Bridge''' mode, except in Passthrough mode other devices can still connect to the router and get LAN IP addresses and both other clients and the router retain Internet access, while Bridge mode also disables the router's DHCP Server.
