Have you tried opening debug screen (192.168.1.1/debug.htm) click on "start capture" and after 10/15 seconds on "save debug file". The archive should contain a file called info.txt with routing table...

Is your static route present?

 

P.S. i think your metric should be 1 not 2 (but maybe i'm wrong)

    Hi, thanks for pointing me to debug page, and I do see my static route in the output.

      Netmask is 255.255.255.255 should be 255.255.255.0 (and metric i've seen that netgear wants 2)

      my 850 is in AP mode i've tried to add a static route 192.168.2.0/24:

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
default         192.168.3.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 br-lan
192.168.2.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 br-guest
192.168.2.0     192.168.3.27    255.255.255.0   UG    1      0        0 br-lan
192.168.3.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 br-lan

      192.168.2.0/24 was overlapping with br-guest (added by orbi automatically) changed the static to 192.168.4.0/24 emd netmask is still correct 

      192.168.4.0     192.168.3.27    255.255.255.0   UG    1      0        0 br-lan

        I have tried with netmask 255.255.255.0 and metric with either 2 or 3. None works though.

        Interestingly, one of my device under 192.168.2.214 shows up as a know device in the logs, but it cannot be connected while on 192.168.1.x and it doesn't show up on the Orbi web "Attached Devices"
