Netgear ORBI RBR50 AP vs Bridge

Thanks for the additional insight and recommendation.
Most of the router features will be disabled while in AP mode, ie Circle, Armor DHCP server and such. SSID should remain the same.
I recommend setting a static IP for the RBR in AP mode out side the main host routers DHCP server IP address pool. I use 191.168.1.50 for mine. That way you know where to access it all the time.
Yes. always have a back up config saved to file.
