Use M5 to connect RAXE500 for internet

Hi I am hoping to use my NetGear M5200 mobile WiFi router to provide 5G internetvia my Netgear RAXE500 to distribute Inteernet around my living space. I thought i could just plug in the supplied Ethernet cable into each and that would do it, but sadly no Internet light in RAXE500, All ideas much appreciated.

 

Firmware is all up todate am using Windows 11

 

Thanks Tony

@Blueposts, my understanding is that Ethernet port on the M5 is intended to support LAN connections (or, failover using the "Always-on WiFi" feature).  I recommend that you examine the NETGEAR LM1200 (or alternatively LTE/5G adapters from Cradelpoint).
