When you flip to AP mode, I assume the defined wifi networks stay? Logically yes as no way the Ubiquiti would control that.---Yes. The wifi network will have the same ssid/password
The web interface still exists but on the LAN ip that it picks up from the Ubiquiti?---Correct
Does DHCP and MAC assignment logic stay accessible on the Netgear? not sure what you mean by logic assignment but you'll still be able to view the ip/mac addresses on the orbi
Most importantly, does the relationship to the satellite stay intact? I need this in place till I get mesh capable AP's from Ubiquiti.---so long as the satellites are either using a wireless backhaul or their wired backhaul is directly connected to the orbi router , they'll still work fine.
Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply, I thought I was on the right track, just wanted confirmation before I make the change.
