RAX50 in router mode and local DHCP server off

If I switch off internal DHCP server and in router mode then my clients won't get any IP's from my firewall and I can't access the WAN port via IP. In older R9000 this used to work but not in RAX50.

 

Any help will be appreciated

    What is your whole setup? 

    And why are you disabling the dhcp server but leaving it in router mode? 

     

    Perhaps more info on your setup, what you're actually trying to accomplish, and any other info you can think of can help us to help you.

      I am running Sophos XG firewall in front of RX50 and I am using DHCP server in the firewall. Since I am using VLAN's and Netgear disables the VLANs in AP mode, I have to use router mode.

       

      But according to the release notes of the latest firmware it seems AP mode does supports VLAN but I cannot find a way to do that. Check this link https://kb.netgear.com/000062360/RAX50-RAX50S-Firmware-Version-1-0-2-72 and it says

       

      Fixes the issue where if the VLAN/bridge mode feature is enabled and the router is in AP mode, the user cannot log in to the router web interface and the console print crash message displays
