Netgear asinine firmware - NAT required
 

Per the subject recently acquired a Netgear Nighthawk X10 having made the mistake of purchasing a Linksys and realising it had a Tomy My First Network interface, then that it was defective.

This incredible 802.11ad router with its quad-core, 1.7GHz CPU, integrated Plex server and everything else requires NAT. If you're in router mode you must have NAT. It will let you run RIP, but you're advertising nothing on the WAN side as it requires NAT.

I'm waiting for their wonderful support to reach out to me and let me know if there are any hidden options, and in between being fed platitudes by their fanboys on their forum.

Netgear reported to the ASA and whoever made the decision to incorporate the, crappy, dynamic routing protocol RIP on a device that can't actually route between LAN and WAN referred to as 'laughing, joking numb-nuts'.
