NOK 5G21 GATEWAY GRY KIT LAN Connection

Umm, yeah, that's how routers work. Maybe I'm missing something in what you are trying to do. i.e. you can turn off all the WiFi radios in the Nokia gateway, connect it to the WAN port and use your router to distribute to your LAN. You'll end up with multiple NAT's but it works.

I want to utilize the LAN ports for an ethernet connection to my home router but it does not seem to negotiate with my router or even my switch? I have tried both dhcp and static settings for LAN1 and I still get no link lights on the router or switch. Connect a WIN10 laptop to the same ethernet cable and it will work with both dhcp and static assignments? What am I not seeing here?
There are no settings on the Nokia 5G gateway for LAN/Ethernet. The only thing you can change is WiFi settings and those are limited. Perhaps you get a gateway with newer software/firmware than the rest? Can you post a screenshot of the web interface?
FWIW, I used the LAN port on the Nokia gateway to both direct computer and to TP-Link router each without any issues.
