Netgear NightHawk AX4 RAX40 Change LAN IP in Advanced Settings Does Not Work - Conflict

I have a LAN in my home and the IP is 192.168.0.x. The new router LAN IP is 192.168.1.1 so the 3rd octet needs to be changed so I can manage it from my home computers.
I can access the router directly from my phone (192.168.1.1) and login fine. When I go to Advanced, then Setup, then LAN, I change the LAN IP and try to Save it, says I have a conflict with the WAN Subnet. When I change the WAN setting, says I have a conflict with the LAN IP.
I have also tried the Netgear APP and don't see a way to do this through the APP?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You cannot have both routers on the same subnet. If you put the RAX40 on 192.168.0.x, it'll broadcast, just like your first router, DHCP and DNS which will conflict with the first router. As plemans said, one of the routers is best set to Access Point mode
Thanks for your replies.
I changed it ti AP mode and it is working fine, but I still need to be able to login to adjust some of the settings that I don't find on the Android App on my phone.
How can I change the LAN IP Setting so I can see the device on my network?
log into your primary router and look at its attached devices list. It should list the AP router's ip address. Use that address to access it.
