App Functions Disabled in AP/bridge mode
Hi, I’m still trying to find my BT Whole Home replace. I read the Orbi app has the following features
- Set up your Orbi system
- Enable Circle with Disney Smart Parental Controls to manage content and time online
- Enable and set up guest WiFi
- Share WiFi credentials with others
- Change your network name (SSID) and password
- Check the connection status of your Internet and Orbi satellite
- View the devices that are connected to your WiFi network
- Add an Orbi satellite to your existing Orbi system
- Pause and resume WiFi on the devices that are connected to your network
- Run Internet speed tests and view your speed history
- Monitor data usage using the traffic meter feature
- QR code WiFi sharing
- Enable/Disable remote access through the app
- Network Map to display all connected devices on your network
Does anyone have a list of what app feature are not available in bridge mode?
I’m mostly interested in whether any or all of these are available.
- View the devices that are connected to your WiFi network
- Pause and resume WiFi on the devices that are connected to your network
- Network Map to display all connected devices on your network
I am in AP mode and all of those functions are available.

Those features should be available in AP mode.
There is no Bridge mode for the RBK50 series...

Thanks FURRYe38 this really helps me, sincerely appreciated.
By chance, and only after your reply I found https://kb.netgear.com/26765/Disabled-Features-on-the-Router-when-set-to-AP-Mode too but it doesn’t explicitly refer to the app itself.
