Access Point Mode RAX200
just thought I would ask why do most devices connect to regular routers setup in access point mode but devices specially streaming devices like the Roku Express 4K HD Streaming Media Player and Now TV don’t work with AP Mode

You are going to have to be more descriptive with your question. I have pieced together you have a RAX200 configured in access point mode and some of your streaming devices don't work.
Need more details on "don't work". Will they connect to the access point Wi-Fi?
What is the manufacturer and model number of the modem/gateway/ONT connected upstream of your RAX200?
I do apologise mate.
Right the problem is most devices I have connected to my access point work absolutely fine witch is the Netgear RAX200. But when I connected my sisters Now TV 4201UK it won’t connect all other devices connected when I try to connect are ok except the Now TV Box. The box came out in 2015 it’s compatible with 802.11 a/b/g/n and supports WEP and WPA 2 I don’t know what encryption box uses. I knew the RAX200 supports WPA2 & WPA3
Most of my devices support a/b/g/n/ac/ax
Some support a/b/g/n/ac

Repeat question:

I am guessing you are on NBN down under?
Will the Now TV connect to the NBN box?
