Enabled AP mode now "cannot get ip address"
Enabled ap mode in an attempt to get rid of NAT issues on xbox one. Hit "apply" and now have no Wifi at all. Getting message "could not obtain IP address" also cannot access setting via www.routerlogin.net to change it back.
Then you need to factory reset it. At the back there's a Reset hole. Push it in with a pin for 10-15 seconds and release. It'll revert back to router mode and you can go set it up again
PS: AP mode is only used to extend range and needs a "master" router to operate. It disables many things such as DHCP, DNS, QoS, etc. It basically acts like a (wireless) switch

you cannot use routerlogin.net in AP mode, only in router mode. Find the IP address your AP gets from the main router and use that to login in the AP
- This is my only router. Its hooked directly to the cable modem
