AP Mode not working any more

Hi! Since today (maybe after a firmware update?), ap mode doesn't work any more.

My netgear wifi router is connected through the WAN port to my Internet router.

 

The problem:

My devices (wifi or ethernet) were waiting for ip address for ever from my modem router.

 

Tests:

When ap mode is disabled (this netgear router is now a dhcp server), every things work well, my devices can surf the internet.

A factory reset, or set the ap mode with IP static/dhcp for the WAN port, don't change any things.

  • I'm having same problem. Same time frame. Have RAX40 connected via Ethernet to C7000. Was working fine until about a week ago.
