WAX206 and Virgin Super Hub
Hi, my set up is as follows, Virgin Super Hub providing WIFI etc, this is connected to an 8 port switch on the second floor via ethernet cable which I have plugged the WAX206 into. Then I logged into the set up of the WAX206 and followed the steps proceeding to switch to AP mode as I only want it to provide wifi coverage to the far part of the house. Once this completes I cannot connect to the wifi or WAX206 unless I perform a factory reset.
Anyone got any ideas?

Connect and login to the Super Hub, and use the Device Connection Status to view details on the Super Hub's current status, along with details about any devices that are connected to the Super Hub. Check for the MAC address printed on your WAX206 to find the WAX206 LAN IP address.
Now you can login to the WAX206 using this LAN address you find assigned. .

The processes depend on the router or the DHCP server in place.
In general, follow WiFi 6 AX1800/AX3200 Dual Band Wireless Access Points, WAX202 and WAX206 User Manual with the "Installation and Initial Login" starting from p.30 and specifically p.35 ff "How the operation mode affects how you can reach the device UI".
