Change Gigi to DHCP ON
Connect
Look at settings
Then make manual without changing anything other than Static value
I currently have the Nighthawk M1 setup as:
Gateway IP address: 192.168.1.1
IP subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
DHCP starting address: 192.168.1.30
DHCP ending address: 192.168.1.99
Use mobile router as DHCP server: Enabled.
The Asus DSL AC68U is connected to the M1 via LAN cable. Its settings are:
DHCP server: Disabled
LAN IP address: 192.168.1.25
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
IP pool starting address: 192.168.1.1
IP pool ending address: 192.168.1.254
With this configuration the PC works!
The Gigaset settings are:
IP address type: Static
IP address: 192.168.001.020
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.000
Default gateway: 192.168.001.001
Preferred DNS server: 192.168.001.001
With this configuration the Gigaset does not work!
I am way out of my sphere of experience here so I am asking for as much help as I can get.

A 4G lte router/hotspot. I presume that you want to use this as your main router at home. Why do you want to use the 68U? If the lan cable connecting the 2 is a long one so that the 88U can be used as an access point in another part of the house, you need to use the 68U's web interface and set the mode to access point. At least in theory your devices will roam between the Nighthawk and the 68U seamlessly, though in reality there will almost certainly be some problems with hand-off between the two.
If you are using the 68U only for additional functionality and the two are close together, you will need to switch off wireless on the Nighthawk so everything connects to the 86U.
But before you try any changes turn off the 86U and see if the gigaset works directly through the Nighthawk.

Changed the Gigaset to Automatic. Power cycled the base and handset but no change.
When I set Automatic in the Gigaset I have no access to any values in it.
I am using the 4G because I have no landline (and it is arguably faster than any NBN I would get - I am in a wireless area). I want to use the 68U because it has LAN ports into which I can plug the Gigaset and the PC. It also has the advantage of stronger wifi but that is purely secondary.

You can do a lot with that ASUS Router
Change it so your Nighthawk is just a Modem
And your Asus is the DCHP machine
That is how it SHOULD be
I've been running like that for years using a TP-Link WDR-4300
Both your and mine router can run third party software too, that allows use of 3G/4G USB modems via USB
My set up is like this:
Phone (Modem) > USB cable > Router(DHCP) > 4 Port LAN + Dual WiFi
You can do the same using all LAN cables in your case.
Just tell your Router what the gateway is, thats it.

In the web interface for the M1, turn off the dhcp server by unticking the appropriate box under dhcp. Then enable bridging mode, which Netgear refers to as ip passthrough mode under setup/Mobile Router Setup, which amongst other things will turn off the routers wifi. You may need to restart. Use the ethernet cable to connect the M1 to the Wan port of the Asus. Your ASUS wan should now have the IP address passed from the M1 and your devices connected to the asus should just work. You can check the lan status on the ASUS. If you need to access the M1 GUI you may be able to see its ip address on your lan in the ASUS GUI, and connect through that. Otherwise you can try connecting it straight to your computer via usb or by lan cable. In the latter case you would need to manually assign your computer an ip address in the same range.
Otherwise ol boy's suggestion of using usb tethering may well also work, though I suspect a direct connection through the wan port would give better performance. Unfortunately I do not have an M1 to test with, so any ####-up is your responsibility. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

I should add make sure your firmware on the M1 is up to date, as ip passthrough was apparently added at some point after the device was released.

Sorry. I have 68U's which do have a Lan port, though not the DSL model, which I see does not. Here is a link which should help:

I think I tried this some time ago - the result was I had to factory restore the Asus - I am very leery of trying it again.. Maybe tomorrow ...

Angry IP is a very handy tool here
give it a try

OK, bit the bullet.
On the M1:
1. Use mobile router as DHCP server: Disabled
2. IP passthrough: Enabled
On the Asus:
1. DHCP server: Enabled
2. IP pool starting address: 192.168.1.2
3. WAN>WAN - dual WAN>Primary WAN>Ethernet WAN (and) LAN Port 1
On the Gigaset:
1. Changed from Static to Automatic
and everything seems to be working,
but, I cannot access the M1 using its usual login details
Well done everyone!
PS. Connection speed on the PC is blistering!

Correct
If want to do this, everything must be on the same subnet
There will be a YouTube showing you how
Well Done on getting it working mate
As another tip, i pick another address range, that 192.168.0. blah blah drives me batshit crazy
I'm always mixing numbers up when doing it late at night
Pick a nice simple address range, less numbers the better

Well done mate. It's not the easiest thing to get working without some networking knowledge.
