Orbi RBR760 Satellites will loose connection every two to three minutes after changing to AP mode.

Help!

I recently purchased a new Router/firewall device and I switched my RBR760 to AP mode once I switched to AP mode both RBS devices connect and disconnect every two to three minutes.  I switch back to router mode and both satellites connect without any issues. I am running the latest firmware in all three devices 6.3.85.

Thank you for your help

    How is the RBR configured for AP mode? Dynamic or Static IP configuration? 

    RBS ethernet or wirelessly connected to the RBR? 

     

    Does this happen if you bring the RBS to same room or near the RBR and then confgure the RBR for AP mode? 

     

    Possible your host firewall appliance device isn't letting the RBS connect correctly to it's system or there not getting a good IP address from the fireall device thru the RBR when in AP mode.
