RBS50 Manually Configure IP Address
Hello, I have a RBR50 which I manually configured the LAN interface and changed to AP Mode. Now I cannot change the IP on the LAN interface. However, I cannot configure the RBS50 LAN interface ...
As CrimpOn says, in AP mode, the RBR50 gets its IP address from the router.
To use a browser to get into the RBR50 you need to track down that IP address, either from the router or from a wifi connection.
One way to make life easier is to fix the IP address of the RBR50 so that you always know where to find it.

And the way to do this is to set up a 'reservation' of some kind on the router that is performing DHCP. I do not believe it is possible to set a 'static IP' on the Orbi itself when in AP mode.
