do you need a modem to access the internet with an RAX50?
everything else working but wont pick up the interset from a connection that works perfect for another free router that came with the fibre order, diagram says it needs a cable modem before the fibre...

that's your routers manual, see bridge mode but it's an old router and maybe worth considering finding a modem second hand like the HG612.
if however this is too confusing I would recommend you find a local company who can look and install your router for you so at least it's set up ok as you are struggling a little bit to understand the help given to you.
thanks NewFeidrool, the link takes me to the HG533 rather than the HG633 model which i have from here already,
The idea of the Netgear Community shuntting me off to a local trades person as they cant seem to solve the issue is frankly a bit lame, the purpose of these boards is to share expertize and encourage learning and solution providing, so if your not onboard with that, perhaps dont comment?
meanwhile back at the ranch, seems people have been using HG633 for a bridge for a while now with some tweaks to the router configuration via the portal.
so off to try that ;-) will keep you posted!
Might not be great to call people who help lame, some might take offence. you need to see if your router offers bridge mode by reading the manual. If not you need a modem.
I think everyone has tried to help you and sadly it's a case of learning but not everyone is good with networks so if they struggle to understand the very basics it's best to seek help so in the end you have it set up and working and having some one there where perhaps you can watch and even write down the process to make life easier for you.
we have solved your issue and given you routes to try. We can't do any more than that sadly.
hopefully you will be able to work it out as you will have to do more resets down the line which is common after updates on firmware.
