Not sure if its related because the RAX120 is a qualcom based router versus the ones that support it are either broadcom or intel based.
Which NETGEAR routers support DHCP option 60 and 61? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
got an old router that does support those options? you could always use that router and disable its wifi and connect the RAX in access point mode.
- thehypnootoadNov 17, 2021LuminaryThanks I do have a d7000 with antitrust but wanted the rax in router mode as use a vpn and certain other features would make it pointless.

does it work if you put the RAX's IP address into the D7000's dmz?
- thehypnootoadNov 19, 2021LuminaryIt's the features on the rax120 I need to use like the vpn which works perfect I don't think the d7000 supports it. It's ridiculous though as my bill for sky and bt is 92 quid a month as it could be 62 if Netgear just supported it .where is a Netgear rep to explain why they can't do it.

I had similar issues with my rax120. For $500+ I expected a better UI to set those kinds of things, or at least SSH to set via CLI. Nope. I had to abandon it for DHCP.
