That's down to how you have the RAXE500 set up.
Disabled Features on the Router when set to AP Mode | Answer | NETGEAR Support
In AP mode, the RAXE500 depends on the router to handle the IP addresses. So the usual ways in, like routerlogin.com, don't work.
There are several ways around this. The easiest is to go into your router and look at its list of attached devices. This will show you the IP address of your AP.
Then you can put that into a browser and get at the browser graphical user interface (GUI) for the AP.
By the way, this bit isn't quite right:
..I lose the ability to access the admin web server or connect with the nighthawk app.
It isn't so much a web server as the front end to your router's controls. More a case of html than a web server. It is all internal.
I’ve figured out what is happening, i’m setting a static ip address (192.168.0.100) in the RAXE500, but the router randomly changes it. I have WAX620/AX3600 and WAX630/AX6000 set up in access point mode with static ip address and they do not have the same problem.
Routerlogin.net works in access point mode on WAXE500. I’m guessing when the ip address falls outside by network it no longer is reachable. But routing to devices on REXE500 still works…
