Hi Everyone.
Sorry it took so long to get a response out.
Shortly after the last message, I spoke to Netgear support — who agreed with me that it was inconsistent that the feature was disabled, but the manual did not specify that it should have been disabled.

Now I just use it as a 6GHz router in my computer room. It works great with my iPhone 14 Pro Max and HP ZBook Firefly G10 which both support the band.
Thanks for all your help previously. I have only responded to this now as I have opened another support discussion on my Orbi Pro Mesh system.
These two groups of IP addresses are still in two complete different networks - in the sense of IP sub-networking, and in the sense of a single broadcast domain for the DHCP which resides on two different routers. This will never make a single network.
