      How do I enable IP Passthrough on my BS6220 Simplifi Device?

      IP Passthrough disables the WiFi  and assigns the cellular carrier's IP address to the wired IP address.  This is typically done in complex Network configurations and is best utilized with a Static assigned IP SIM card from your carrier.

      Step 4 outlines the instructions on how to enable IP Passthrough as part of the Setup Wizard process.  

      **Assuming you are already logged into web GUI. If not, please refer back to "Simplifi Web GUI Basic Info" for information on how to login into your device.

Often times you may need to reconnect to your wireless SSID once your device has a solid green light.
