Has anyone got AP mode to work on SXK80, with FW 3.2.6.102?

I experienced some issues with these units as well, I started out with FW 3.2.6.100 in router mode (with insight linked) but when putting the SXR80 in AP mode behind my x86 router I was getting all kind of odd issues, in the end I had to unlink it from insight and used the hard factory reset point on the back of the SXR80 and reset it up via the web portal (the factory reset in the web portal also didnt fix the issue for me)

 

I can also see there is a new 3.3.0.122 for the SXR80/SXS80  with some AP fixes in it so this may fix your issues as well!

Thanks, I'll give the new firmware a try today.  I've lost track of how many times I've used the hard reset button - last time I restored from our saved backup settings, it turned it's DHCP server back on and I had rogue IPs for a couple of hours until I tracked it down.  I miss the days when Netgear stuff just.... worked.

Are you Insight user? Did you switch to AP mode in Insight?

I have the Insight app on my phone, but it's very much "when all else fails," check this.  To be honest, my experience with Insight has been so poor that I prefer the web portals - especially for our switch.  Just in case though, I pulled it up and after reviewing the "recently updated" notes - it doesn't even detect the SXR80 or satellite.  I double checked, and my phone is connected to the SXK80, and has the correct IP on the same network & subnet.  The router is listed under "my other Netgear products," along with my switch - even though the Orbi is less than a year old, and should technically still be Insight eligible until April of '22.
