Hi, I could not see any option to get a static IP in AP Mode.

There are two ways to fix an IP address. Some network devices have a setting that allows you to fix a "static address" on them.

With an AP device, I "reserve" its IP address on the router. On a Netgear router, that appears on:

>> Advanced

>> Setup

>> LAN Setup

In your case, you would do this on the tp-link device.

The router will then allocate the chosen IP address to a device when it connects to the router.

You can then access the AP through its IP address. Of course, that won't work if your RAX is in router mode.

.... I tried "Setup - Internet Setup - WAN Preferences and Multi-Gig Internet" and Speedtest appeared to get my speed back but no SSID broadcast to connect to and again I could not connect to the RAX.

This is back to the double NAT issue.

There is no point in messing around with other settings, especially anything on the Inernet side. You either have to put the RAX into AP mode or the tp-link into "bridge mode".

Have you investigated bridge mode on the modem/router?

Only then will you know if something is preventing you from getting the speed you pay for our of the RAX70.

Anything else is just thrashing about.
