RAXE500 The IP address conflicts with the WAN IP subnet
I am in the process of configuring my RAXE500 to join my LAN. It currently acts as its own separate LAN - with internet being provided by another router. I have internet in my house balanced by t...
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.
So, we climbed up their levels of technicians, and eventually, I was notified that they had changed the setting for the next update, and last I checked it worked fine.
What's the most annoying is that I had to buy a 2.5G netgear switch in the meantime because of the wait.
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.
Amazing, considering you have a great router at hand, with sufficient bandwidth and two 10 GbE/MultiGig ports - both or at least one unused as far as I understand.
If I have to add more ports and bandwidth I would look into the various Netgear 10GbE/MultiGig switch offerings (in fact I have such an installation around a QHora-301W) or have an eye on the QHora-322 with three 10 GbE (MultiGig capable) and not less than six 2.5 GbE ports - because the Netgear PR60X is unfortunately limited to two WAN ports (sorry Netgear, we are talking for years now).
Not a secret: My home and a larger venue network I'm operating is built using Netgear WAX6xx on Netgear MS510TXUP (plus some XS728T/XS748T for legacy GbE copper Ethernet devices) switches with an mostly fiber backhaul. Playground does also contain a MS108EUP, GS308E, GS105PE, and some Essential APs like WAX214/214v2, WAX220 to help out the community members here.
Looking forward for the feedback of the Netgear support reply ref. RAX500E in AP mode and the link aggregation ideas.

Any progress or updates on this?

Just wondering if you still have your RAXE500?
