In <b>Passthrough</b> mode the router assigns its mobile WAN IP address to another device. It is similar to <i>Bridge</i> 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.

To begin configuring Passthrough mode, make sure that WAN failover is turned off and mobile is set as main WAN in the <i>Network → [[{{{name}}} WAN|WAN]]</i> page. Then in the <i>Network → Mobile</i> page select <i>Mode: Passthrough</i> in the mobile configuration section. You will then see additional configuration fields appear at the bottom of the section.

In <b>Bridge</b> 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. The main difference between Passthrough and Bridge is that in Passthrough, the router's DHCP Server still works and the regular LAN interface is still up, allowing clients to connect to the router's local network as usual, while Bridge mode disables all of these features and simply gives the a single specified device its WAN IP address. Since Bridge uses less of the router's features, it is a bit faster than Passthrough.
