I cleared the browser cache. Safari and Opera (IE 11 is not longer available for Mac.), result is the same. The "Router/AP Mode" page comes up and shows "AP Mode" is selected. Hitting "Apply" again takes me through the same route I've described and I always come back to the starting page. Both Comcast and Orbi continue to appear in the drop down list as options on an computer or device I check. IE 11 is not longer available for Mac. I guess my only choices are to keep everything as is until I decide to change course and Bridge the Comcast and re-set-up the Orbi to be the router.

Does the process take you to the end of the set up wizard? Seems like the setup wizard hasn't fully completed. Ya, you might try a reset on the router and walk the set up wizard to it's completion.

The process I'm using is accessed via orbilogin.com, signing in and navigating to "advanced," then, "advanced set-up," then "Router/AP Mode" as instructed by https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point
Don't know if that's the same as the "Set-Up Wizard." I've tried my IOS Orbi app to see if it might tell me whether or not AP has been enabled but it's silent on the matter.
