How to set up Orbi 870 (873) as an access point?
Hello, I see in the instructions on how to set it up as normal (with the app) and I also found a page where it explains how to configue the router as an access point. What I would like to know,...
The attached PDF for AP mode is the one.
Yes, if it's working then keep it. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy. 📡Please mark your thread as solved so others will know.
Thanks, I know how to configue AP, just wanted to make sure I did everything in the right order in case of a new mesh setup. I know ORBI can be sensitive to that.
Don't know why you send me the reset link, I hope I will not be needing that. I am moving from the RBR53 to the RBR873 because I can longer reset my satellite.... 😁
