Does 5Ghz or ethernet show same issue?
What FW version is loaded on the system?
What brand and model# host router is the RBR connected too?
Make sure the RBR is connected to the host router using the RBRs WAN port to a open LAN port on the host router.
How is the RBR configured for AP mode? Dynamic or Static IP address configuration?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router 📡 and satellite(s)🛰️? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR 📡 and RBS 🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.

Does this happen with the RBS turned OFF?
Does this happen with both wireless and wired devices?
What channel configurations are currently set on the router?
What wireless device are you using?

RBR and 3RBS FW version are all latest versoin of V7.2.7.15_5.1.16
I have tried two router, one is linksys and the other ASUS, and the issue is the same: with AP mode, overall wireless and wired connection under 750 is very unstable comparing to previous long time router mode.
Yes, RBR is connected with router via WAN port on RBR and LAN port on router. I have used the static IP address on RBR under AP mode. Not helpful.
I have read the article about appropriate distance. Thanks. However, it seems not helpful for my situation.
When under AP mode, the wireless connection is very slow; at the same time, with wired connection, the access to Netgear admin page is also very slow. The channel configuration is the default situation, which has no change from previous stable router mode.
The wireless devices are normal ones, iphone, ipad, thinkpad, intel nuc.
The most strange part is that under rounter mode, it is perfect; under AP mode, it could not be used under wireless mode.
