Turning off NAT on Deco

Model: Deco X55

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version: 1.2.5

Revisiting this thread: https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/593970 and this one: https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/593970

This seems to have been requested a lot. I need to disable NAT on Deco as I have to use an upstream router/FW which has much more advanced security features than is available on Deco. Still happy to use it's internal DHCP etc. I don't want to use AP only mode as I want the parental control features (as limited as they are).

@SteveV00

Hi, Thanks for the feedback.

For Deco, NAT is a necessity to guarantee the proper function of router-level features, like parental control, QOS, and port forwarding. Without Deco working as NAT, its parental control feature would no longer work either. The feature had been reported to the engineering team before and due to the integrity of multiple advanced features, it hasn't been approved yet.

Best regards.
