Orbi App in Access Point Mode
Is it possible to use the Orbi app when the router is just in access point mode and using a non-netgear router? I would just like to be access the Wi-Fi settings

If I set up my Orbi router and satellite in access point mode will all the functions of the orbi app ( particularly remote access) still work or will that be disabled while in access point mode? Any input greatly appreciated as I can't find any informaton on this. Thanks

What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?App should work however some features may not be supported in AP mode since they are dependent upon router mode.
You can test this out and see how it works for you, if it doesn't you can revert back.

Hi my point is diffirent i've already set-up in AP mode, all works with web based control interface (using IP nr. for connect not orbilogin.com address) from computer with basic feature not related to a router mode, question is if there is a chance to login with the mobile app (seem no...)
