Hi Everyone,

I just came of a 1hr40mins support call with Netgear. Although the agent tried to be really helpful, he could by no means fix my problem.

I want to run ORBI RBR850 and 2xRBS850 in AP Mode. All of the devices are on a wired LAN, actually a LAN that is using patch-panels and HP Gigabit Switches.

The RBR850 does not sync with the RBS850's at all. Actually, all of the devices receive IP Addresses from the central DHCP, they also have Internet connectivity. The RBR850 spans two WLAN, WPS protected (correct), also another one of the Satellites does (correct). The last Satellite shows *open* WLAN under the same SSID as the others (wrong!).

The ORBI App shows the Satellites as "magenta", the Browser Interface of the RBR850 shows the Satellites as "disconnected", but only after I re-configured it back to Router-Mode. What a f***-up! This should be the most simplistic thing, this configuration should do.

Any ideas out there?
