I have the same issue and the network (Ooredoo) did not tell that the device will be a scrap and I will have to recycle it in to the trash after my contract date ends.
and Netgear support team says we do have nothing to you. THAT IS NON SENSE, I REGRET BUYING THIS ROUTER, IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY.

Private mac/ip address is good in concept but more useful when you're in public or on someone else's network.
On your own network, its more of headache than a benefit and not really that beneficial.

Oh so true. But private wifi has become a fashionable "innovation". Samsung also uses it on newer devices. It is now offered in Windows.
Use random hardware addresses in Windows 11 - Search (bing.com)
Netgear needs to find a better way of accommodating users who suddenly ht this brick wall. It should be up to a user here to provide the best guidance.
