Guest Network in AP Mode still works like a router
I have my AX5700 (RBR840) with 2 satellites set-up in AP Mode. I have Firewalla Gold router set-up to manage the network. For some reason the Orbi Guest Network is still operating in Router Mode and assigning IP addresses, etc. The Orbi main network is working correctly, IP addresses are assigned by the Firewall router.
In the Orbi, the network configuration page is not available as it is set in AP Mode.
How do I fix this so that all IP's are assigned by the Firewalla router?
Thanks,
Pat

If its a 192.168.2.x address for Guest Network, most likely intended by NG and by design. Thats the default subnet for all Guest Networks.
Thanks, but I do not understand. In AP Mode, the Orbi should not assign any IP addresses, all of that should be handled by the stand alone router. It is only the Guest Network that is assigning IP's, the Main Network is getting IP's from the stand alone router(?)
Not for Guest Network. NG I believe chooses to keep the Guest Network subnet away from the main LAN while in router mode or AP mode for security reason and isolation.
