The limitations of the Plusnet router are not very relevant here. The only possible problem you have is that double-NAT might cause some websites to break (things like VoIP or video conferencing) in which case using a router that can be configured in Modem mode, or configuring the Mesh master device as an access point only, rather than a router - these might be your options. There's nothing in the Mesh documentation to explain how you would disable the router function of the Mesh master device; but in essence you would simply give it a static IP address in the Plusnet router's subnet then turn off its DHCP server. You would do this using a computer connected by Ethernet to the Mesh master device, then once configured, connect the mesh master device to the Plusnet router by Ethernet cable. Other routers can be configured as access points or simple network switches using this technique; it remains to be seen whether the Mesh device can be. -- Graham J
