XR500 Can't Get DumaOS in AP mode

Due to delayed FTTP installation and moving into a garden room, I'm currently using my XR500 in AP mode (I think) but its wired only and I can't enable wireless by the button on the XR500 router.   ...

    For anyone else's benefit in future, it seems like the router (XR500) went into some sort of bridge mode whilst requiring a TFTP firmware update.. I did this and it's all reset and working as it should now in AP mode, internet into WAN port, can access DumaOS via IP address given in BT Hub.
