Rodney,
I am starting to see the wisdom behind your response.
Orbi system is really nice experience from the clientele side of things (appears as one network, good handoffs, etc) but the backend is not super configurable.
Planning on going to AP mode and putting a wired router in to manage traffic and security. Hopefully this will give the best of both worlds.

Good plan in general, but be aware that as of the time of this writing, guest mode isolation isn't working properly in AP mode (it results in guests having no connectivity at all). That's been the case for a couple of past releases, hopefully it will get fixed in the near-ish future.
