Issue with 2.1.3.4 in AP mode?

Is anyone else running their Orbi in AP mode?  I am having an issue where wireless clients are not getting an IP address assigned to them from DHCP server via the Orbi but hardwired clients are.   ...

    Well some Putty and the internet and i have it sorted out.  There clearly is an issue somewhere in the new FW.  But after some nvram show, grep, and set i over wrote the wrong DCHP values and i now have Wifi. 

     

    I think netgear should give the new FW another look before grandma bricks her wireless because they wont know how to use Putty :D.

    See bad behaviors before with Chrome. Try this next time please, use IE11 and or FF. 

     

    Hope it keeps working now. Glad you got it runing correclty. Hopefully won't happen again. 

     

    Enjoy.
