Issue with 2.1.3.4 in AP mode?
Is anyone else running their Orbi in AP mode? I am having an issue where wireless clients are not getting an IP address assigned to them from DHCP server via the Orbi but hardwired clients are. ...
Well some Putty and the internet and i have it sorted out. There clearly is an issue somewhere in the new FW. But after some nvram show, grep, and set i over wrote the wrong DCHP values and i now have Wifi.
I think netgear should give the new FW another look before grandma bricks her wireless because they wont know how to use Putty :D.
What happens if you use the Routers UI to "erase" to factory reset? Set up from scratch then set AP mode?
Possible HW issue or problem with your particular unit.
You might try this, I had to do this once with beta FW, do a factory reset. Disconnect the router from the main host router. Set up and skip the wizard. Go direcly in and load the FW file again, using IE11 or FF. Wired connection please. After it loads, use the routers UI and do the "erase" for reset. Set up and then configure AP mode. Check the WAN and LAN settings. Is DHCP services disabled after you set AP mode?
I have tried it multiple times with 2 different versions fo the FW. I am not going in via Putty/Telnet.. see if i can override the value. More to come.
