AX23 as 2nd Router
I'm using AX23 as 2nd router connected via LAN cable so my setup is Main router (which is provided by the internet service provider) > 2nd router (Ax23) which is connected via Ethernet cable.
Should I change the IP address of the Ax23 from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.2 to avoid NAT problem or just enable Access Point Mode? or just set it up normally?

If you want to avoid the double NAT you should set AX23 in AP mode - details (Case 1). Thus all devices connected to your ISP router and AX23 would be in the same subnet.
If you want to have an isolated subnet for devices connected to your AX23 then you should leave AX23 in router mode - it depends how you want to configure your network.

I have 3x ax72 in my network and set my routers up as follows.
1 ax72 as my main router
2x ax72 as satellites set in AP mode,
All my ax72 routers are set up the same in the sence of same ssid and password.
I've even set the guest network ssid and password the same aswell as the IOT network.
That way no matter what where I go in the house with any device they all connect using the same credentials and I don't have to worry about inputing multiple different passwords and ssid's,
You should be able to move about your property Depending on device and reconnect to the stronger signal without turning wifi off and on again,
It doesn't always work 100% of the time for me but I would say a good 98% of the time it does it without fail.
Stationary devices like printers tvs ect will automatically connect to the strongest signal and stay on that router.
