    Hi Everyone.

     

    Sorry it took so long to get a response out.

     

    Shortly after the last message, I spoke to Netgear support — who agreed with me that it was inconsistent that the feature was disabled, but the manual did not specify that it should have been disabled.

     

    So, we climbed up their levels of technicians, and eventually, I was notified that they had changed the setting for the next update, and last I checked it worked fine.

     

    What's the most annoying is that I had to buy a 2.5G netgear switch in the meantime because of the wait.

     

    Now I just use it as a 6GHz router in my computer room. It works great with my iPhone 14 Pro Max and HP ZBook Firefly G10 which both support the band.

     

    Thanks for all your help previously. I have only responded to this now as I have opened another support discussion on my Orbi Pro Mesh system.

I agree. There does not seem to be any limitation on the manual, however, when I did put it into AP mode, I could not access the Ethernet Settings.

 

I will upload a picture when I get the chance, but it just faded out and unable to be clicked on.

 

Even then, I do not understand why it would not be able to function in AP mode.

 

Thanks for the insight so far.
