Nighthawk X8 + Orbi RBK53 how to set up AP mode ?
I need a detailed instruction to set up my new Orbi system as a mesh network and keep my nighthawk as the base router. Can somebody describe this to me as detailed as possible please ? Thanks

You turn off the wifi on the router. Then you connect the Orbi base unit's WAN port to one of the LAN ports on the Nighthawk.
Instructions on AP mode are on page 88 of the user manual: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RBK50/Orbi_UM_EN.pdf
