I have DECO M5 and currently have it running in bridge mode connected to a ubiquiti edge router.  I want to use some of the features that seem to only be available in router mode.  The problem is if I put the Deco into router mode all my ubiquiti sees is the NAT'd address from the DECO router and I want it to show individual IP stats from the wireless network plus I want firewall rules for the individual wifi IP's but all I see is  NAT'd address from the DECO router.

 

I don't seem to be able to turn of NAT on the Deco M5 router.  I know that all the Deco's are compatible, is there another model that I can swap out as the router that does allow me to turn of NAT?

 

P.S. the ubiquit is doing the NAT for the internet access.

@gunna 

Hi, the NAT is enabled under router mode by default for all Deco models(Deco M3W not included.)

Currently, adding the DHCP on/off switch under router mode does more harm than good so the initial request has not been approved.

If other users have the same request, please comment here with your reasons for the feature.

 

And the wireless router, like the Archer series, would be a workaround if you have to turn off the DHCP.

Thank you very much.

@TP-Link 

I have the same problem and very much interested in this feature, please add me to the list of requestors.

I have upstream gateways which also require visibility of the original IP address,  but need to keep router mode enabled for QOS of wireless clients.

 

I also note this is a fairly common question,  a few other threads on this site with similar questions eg,

Thanks.
