AP mode DHCP from router not displaying IP
I'm upgrading from the RBR50 (AC3000) to the RBR750 (AX4200). In both cases, I want the Orbi in AP mode and I reserve an IP address for it on the router that is serving up DHCP. On the RBR50, the LAN...
I know dhcp server is off in ap mode and I get that showing dhcp on would potentially be confusing. But what about not displaying the ip address of that port? That should show up somewhere in the interface.

Oh, my. So true. Would you mind checking which firmware version is running on the Orbi?
If it is the most recent, v7.2.6.21, then this appears to be a Bug.
That's the version I'm running. Made it a point to upgrade to the latest version manually before I started doing any configuring.
Well, certainly a disappointment. I had hoped that the Connection Status box would show it, but those entries are blank as well.
Yep. You can see it via the network map in the orbi app or in the logs. Those are the only places.
Aside the WEB UI not displaying the IP address for AP mode, is the system working otherwise?

I haven't exercised it much yet - want to make sure it's working properly before I replace my current orbi with it. It appears to be working in the limited testing I've done.
