Should i be worried about anything specific in this configuration? Also strangely I can no longer access the Orbi Router admin through my browser once I changed it to AP Mode (I triend orbilogin.net, Orbilogin.com and the router's IP address??)

    I can still access my ATT modem admin by putting in the IP.
