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.

Hopefully this is a corner case issue. Haven't seen this with anyone else with this odd after FW update behavior. Possible issue between this Untangle device as the Orbi as well.

    Zero to do with untangle.  This was purley an issue with the FW install and reset.  I was on a prior version of the FW (was a beta) , so clearly something between them didnt mix.  Regardless i hope grandmas Orbi doesnt STB when this gets pushed to them.
