You don't have to use the router at all for raised panels.

You can cut the panels completely on the tablesaw, giving a raised panel.

First you set your fence so the size of your field. And score the panel
on four sides. Do that for all panels.

Then you set your panel on edge and set the blade to come out just short
of the reveal on the field you just cut.  I have a high fence that I use
for this. It extends my fence in height to support the boards when
cutting like this. I also add a handscrew to the top of the panel so it
rides the top of the fence for extra support. You can also make a sled
to keep the panel tight to the fence. I don't need that. I use a feather
board down below to keep the board tight to the fence. Then I cut the
panel ... and you rotate and do the other side. Start each panel with
endgrain first. Then cut with the grain, the tearout will be cleaned up
by doing this .

Your method may or may not work depending on the style of bit. It could
be contemporary, or OGEE... Ogee would not work. Conemporary might work.

Google search and you tube search for cutting raised panels on the table
saw.

Good luck.
