I would like to connect my 4G Huawei B593 router (in the same way I would connect a DSL modem) to my Netgear R6300 router. I would of course turn off the Wi-Fi on the B593 and I probably need to change the it's IP address as it is the same as on the R6300 (192.168.1.1). Which IP address and mask should I use on the B593 to get this working? Any other settings I need to change?
Connect an Huawei B593 to a Netgear R6300 router, which IP address should I use?

on the 4g hauwei all you need to do is log into it and there should be some options onder either dhcp setup or the actuall setup to put it into bridged mode, which basically disabled dhcp on it will get a dhcp address on the network if you would like it to, youc an also disable wifi on that or leave the wifi enabled and match the settings to your netgear, the only thing you have to change is the channel, you do not want them to be running on the same channel
Be nice if you could really make that router into a modem but I have seen a number of complaints saying it will not run bridge mode.
You only choice is to run dual NAT...ie router behind a router. If you are using 192.168.1.1 one the huawei lan then just change the lan on your other router to say 192.168.2.1. Unless there is some feature on the other router I would let the huawei be your router and run the other router as a AP.
In either configuration I would consider running both wireless radios and put them on different channels and maybe different SSID. It would give you more options and allow you to split your devices over more radio bandwidth.

As long as you dont have a gaming console hooked to that second router double nat shouldnt be an issue.
I had a nightmare getting a ps4 working behind a sonicwall since the crappy modem there had no settings to bridge it or anything. Literally no adjustments
Had to eventually put the ps4 on its own subnet on a designated dmz port to atleast get it to connect to psn

Good! "You only choice is to run dual NAT...ie router behind a router. If you are using 192.168.1.1 one the huawei lan then just change the lan on your other router to say 192.168.2.1.
