Netgear NightHawk AX4 RAX40 Change LAN IP in Advanced Settings Does Not Work - Conflict
I just bought a Netgear Nighthawk AX4 RAX40 WiFi Router and am having an issue with changing the LAN IP address. I have a LAN in my home and the IP is 192.168.0.x. The new router LAN IP is 192.16...
What modem/gateway do you have?
You're more than likely running a double nat.
A double nat happens when you cascade more than 1 router.

Fixes? There’s 3 options but only use 1.
1. Put the modem/gateway in modem only/pass through mode. This disables its routing functions.
2. Leave the modem/gateway in router mode but put the Netgears IP address into its DMZ. This forwards the data to the netgear. You can either leave the modem/gateway’s wireless enabled or disabled. Just make sure its using a different wifi channel to prevent interference
3. Put the Netgear into access point mode. This disables its routing functions. Wifi/ethernet still works but it does disable some features.

Option 3 is probably the best option for you if you want everything on the same subnet.
