I tried a factory reset and it still shows the same problem.
If I choose the Smart Setup I pick Access Point mode and then it says it can't connect to the router. There's no option to put in manual IP settings.
If I cancel and try and set up manually I can't see a way to change it to Access Point mode. I thinks it's in Extender Mode.
Since I want to connect to the router by cable I need to have it in Access Point mode. What's the manual way to choose this mode with the latest firmware ?

it should be a check box in advanced wireless settings to activate AP mode.
