I kind of realized what's going on but still would need some help please.
The 192.168.1.50 RAX80 address is given by my ISP modem DHCP server via the Ethernet cable joining them.
The RAX80 serves it's own 10.x.y.z wireless network.
Problem is that my home Mac and two other deviced NEED to be connected via Eth cable to the ISP modem and therefore have 192.168.1.x addresses.
How can I reach the RAX web interface via the 192.168.1.50 address?
Isn't there a way to configure the RAX80 kust as a "wireless bridge" so that it serves IP adresses from the ISP modem (192.168.1.x)?
Thanks again
