RBR853 - Disable NAT/ routing / DHCP server, but keep Mesh?

Question

Hello all.&nbsp;I have an RBR853 mesh set up at home.&nbsp; Works well.&nbsp;I am looking to place the RBR853 mesh network behind a firewall, which will be doing NAT and routing outound (towards Internet - multiple uplinks) and inbound (looking to break out multiple VLANs via a switch to segent the inside home network).&nbsp;In this scerario, I would prefer to eliminate the layer of NAT, routing, and DHCP service provided by the RBR853 base, and have these services provided by the firewall instead.&nbsp; I am aware that I can turn the Orbi system into AP-only mode, which would do this - BUT my question is, if I switch the Orbi system to AP-only mode, do I lose the mesh capability of the Orbi system?&nbsp;Dave

Configure AP mode on the Orbi router.&nbsp;https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point&nbsp;and&nbsp;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&amp;app=desktop&nbsp;No, AP mode still runs MESH configuration.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
