RAXE500 The IP address conflicts with the WAN IP subnet
I am in the process of configuring my RAXE500 to join my LAN. It currently acts as its own separate LAN - with internet being provided by another router. I have internet in my house balanced by t...
Hi Everyone.
Sorry it took so long to get a response out.
Shortly after the last message, I spoke to Netgear support — who agreed with me that it was inconsistent that the feature was disabled, but the manual did not specify that it should have been disabled.
So, we climbed up their levels of technicians, and eventually, I was notified that they had changed the setting for the next update, and last I checked it worked fine.
What's the most annoying is that I had to buy a 2.5G netgear switch in the meantime because of the wait.
Now I just use it as a 6GHz router in my computer room. It works great with my iPhone 14 Pro Max and HP ZBook Firefly G10 which both support the band.
Thanks for all your help previously. I have only responded to this now as I have opened another support discussion on my Orbi Pro Mesh system.

LAG is only supported in router mode I believe.
Can't see any reference for such a limitation in the fine documentation at least. Earlier routers like the R9000 are certainly supporting a LAG spanning two Ethernet ports - typically for LAN usage, also in AP mode. A little bit obsolete, considering we have a 10 GbE SFP+ port available there, too.
FMI: Nighthawk AXE10000 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router (Model RAXE450)/Nighthawk AXE11000 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router (Model RAXE500) User Manual p97 ff. Manage Ethernet port aggregation to a LAN device. Keep in mind there is only on 2.5 GbE port available, so the LAG (for both LAN [any mode[ or WAN) are made of GbE links only.
Remains the question to be asked what is so sexy to have both a 5 GHz and a 6 GHz 4x4 radio - what is on paper much more bandwidth of what you can handle over the available 2.5 GbE or one pair of 1 GbE link port in a LAG. Much better balanced - and much less problems with the consumer NAT router design - would be a WAX630E, also with one 2.5 GbE or two GbE links in a LAG. Admit only 5 GHZ 4x4 and a 6 GHz 2x2 radio - for about 300 US$ (compared to the RAXE500 with a price tag of almost 500 US$). Or do you really have to cover that much wireless to wireless bandwidth?
I agree. There does not seem to be any limitation on the manual, however, when I did put it into AP mode, I could not access the Ethernet Settings.
I will upload a picture when I get the chance, but it just faded out and unable to be clicked on.
Even then, I do not understand why it would not be able to function in AP mode.
Thanks for the insight so far.

Might help if you told people what the ultimate aim of your quest is.
There can be many ways to reach a destination.

The OP want to configure a LAG (using ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Ethernet Port Aggregation) wit the RAXE500 in AP mode.

Neither excluded as per the fine manual nor as per the referred KB entry stating it should not be available. Trouble is that these devices are primarily designed and tested for router operations...
No obvious reasons, because the LAG feature (aka Ethernet Port Aggregation) is readily available on all Nighthawk routers where Ethernet port aggregation is available, regardless of router or the AP mode.
As oliversimpson owns an almost new RAXE500, one would guess Netgear support is available, and -should- be more knowledgeable than the old geeks here. At least we have provided sufficient information to proof 8-)

That describe what they want to do in the router's settings. not what they want to achieve.
The two are by no means identical.
PS Why is your reply such a mess, with all those repeated bits and pieces? Another artefact of Netgear's hopeless implementation of the Lithium community software?
