Is orbi pro sxk80 any better than sxk50 in AP mode ?
So the setup was horrible but I now know that firmware update is required BEFORE swap to AP mode. Can also live with the horribly painful sequence of 43 network resets as each parameter configured. ...

Beta FW V4.3.0.139 is three times faster than 122 FW for SXR50 !!
Iperf is a bit flaky relative to the SMB traffic I care about but large transfer multi-thread is close. This is also 3X improvement, old firmware struggled to get 200Mbits connected to router.
iperf-3.1.3-win64>iperf3.exe -p 5501 -l 1M -P 2 -c 192.168.2.12

[SUM] 0.00-10.00 sec 780 MBytes 654 Mbits/sec receiverI actually see 60-75MB/S because wifi is of course kind of random depending on neighbors etc and I have about 30Mbit/s background traffic on other band. My baseline old AP result was 40-70MB with latter same room only so this FW changed SXR50 from half my current speed to almost double for client connected to satellite 30 feet from router.
This has saved an Orbi from the trash bin.
THANK YOU.
