Stability AP vs Router mode on .18 release
Does anyone have experience with moving the Orbi to AP mode
on the .18 release ?
Wondering if that is a temporary way to get some atability.
Just need a spare box for Router/NAT/DHCP.
any recommendations for a Router suitable for a high speed 200 Mbs plus cable modem are appreciated ?
Ok will try setup as AP.

- I updated my Orbi to .18 yesterday. I run it on AP mode and before the update it would reset every few hours. Since the .18 update it has not reset once (just over 24h). I will keep an eye on it, but it seems a lot more stable. Also my Samsung galaxy s8 used to get authentication errors daily. I haven't had one of those either. I know it's not been running long, but it is a big improvement over all the other versions I have tried.
- Cannot comment on the modem you could use but I have been using the Orbi RBK30 units in AP mode for many months and a number of firmware versions and it’s always been stable and great connection with great throughput speeds.
Have been on .18 for a few days and no drops in connection.Works perfectly for me in AP mode.

I have RBK50 kit with 1000fiber and pppoe.
I have 950-960mbps on LAN
almost 600mbps on wireless with old macbook
same speed 500-600mbps on wireless from satellite RBS50 connected to RBR50 over wireless.
So, it support pppoe >900mbps.
Went to AP mode to support Bitdefender Box 2. Now that I configured the Box 2 correctly, the AP mode on router works well. No drops on any idevices or my Directv box.
