Orbi Router AP mode - DHCP
Hello
I have a Orbi Router (#Orbi Pro SXS80) in AP Mode, and I would like to ask, is DHCP automatically deactivated when the Orbi router is in AP mode?
My DHCP router is connected to another HP router that is DHCP enabled, so I was worried that there might be confusion as to which device is providing DHCP service. I have been experiencing Internet Disconnections (both Wifi and Ethernet Cable Connections) once in a few months and was wondering where the problem could arise from. This problem would arise and would resolve itself in the same day.

says that in Access Point (AP) mode, "all router functions" are disabled, which includes DHCP.
