Using Orbi In AP Mode
Hello - i have read and read that the only way to filter specific LAN IP's through a VPN service is to set-up the Orbi in AP mode, and connect the Orbi to a seperate router to handle the VPN connection. Is that still the only way to do this?
Is there a guide/tutorial on how to set this up with a ERL3? Or is there a different router that is easier to set this up with?

It appears that the goal is to force the outgoing internet traffic from specific devices on the LAN (identified by their IP address) through a VPN. None of Netgear's routers feature any sort of Client VPN capability, let alone one that also includes the ability to filter specific IPs.
Instructions on how to deploy a Ubiquiti Edge Router Lite 3 for this purpose will have to come from Ubiquiti. There may be Netgear customers who also own Ubiquiti routers, but the chances of them following these forums is not great.
is there a way to use the orbi app settings such as parental controls and device manager when in API mode? From what i've read, it says no, but didn't know if there was a work around.
hmmmm...could I connect a secondary router to one of the LAN ports of the ORBI and route specified devices thro this secondary router? Or would the ORBI settings over-ride this?
