RAX200 No LAN Ports, WiFi Fine
I have my RAX200 connected via LAN cable to the router from my ISP (Telus Fibre, not that it matters). Obviously it's plugged into the Internet port on my RAX200. The WiFi on my RAX200 works fine...
Hi curtisbby ，can you share your Wan preference settings? Which one did you choose ?
Then can you take a pic for how your ethernet LAN cable into the which Ethernet ports ?
Also can you share the topology you set up ?
ex: ISP router------RAX2000------PC
Hi,
Sorry for late reply - I was sick.
Connection is: Telus Fibre Optic Modem >> Telus WiFi Router >> Netgear RAX200.
Telus Modem is 192.168.1.254
Netgear RAX200 is 192.169.1.64
Pics to follow...
Here's back of router.
Black cable to my Telus Router, White cable to my PC.
(still don't have a model off either the telus gateway/modem or its router)
From looking at it, you have 2x routers running in router mode. and both on the same subnet.
Its called a double nat and can cause issue.
A double nat happens when you cascade more than 1 router.

Fixes? There’s 3 options but only use 1.
1. Put the modem/gateway in modem only/pass through mode. This disables its routing functions.
2. Leave the modem/gateway in router mode but put the Netgears IP address into its DMZ. This forwards the data to the netgear. You can either leave the modem/gateway’s wireless enabled or disabled. Just make sure its using a different wifi channel to prevent interference
3. Put the Netgear into access point mode. This disables its routing functions. Wifi/ethernet still works but it does disable some features.

There is another workaround to avoid Lan Wan IP conflict
You can change the Lan IP address to 10.0.0.1.
From ADVANCED/ Setup/ Lan Setup/ Lan TCP/IP Setup.
