Issues connecting AP to Orbi network
I have an Orbi network (RBR750 and two RBS750 satellites). In itself, this works great. I want to connect an access point to the network. I am trying to use a Netgear WAX204 in AP mode. The AP is...
Once its attached to the router and has its own ip address assigned, can you set it with a reserved ip address?
Once thats done, power it off and try connecting it directly to the satellite and powering it on.
If that works, then try it through the switch.
I know this sounds stupid but that AP has a router mode and an access point mode. Have you checked to ensure its actually in access point mode?

Hi
Not at all, I appreciate any efforts to help. And I apprecaite why you are asking the question, as I know what I am describing sounds like I've left it in router mode.
I can confirm that it is definitely in AP mode. It actually has three modes - (1) Router (2) AP and (3) Bridge. It's in AP mode.
I'll try and get a screenshot (just have to jump on my other PC).
