As this is mostly a user-to-user community, Netgear's minders aren't likely to see this unless you bring it to the attention of someone like  Christian_R 

 

It certainly deserves escalation, or at least an explanation as to how users can successfully put an R7800 into AP mode on new firmware.

 

Some people, well one, seem to have got it to work. So it should be possible. But how?

They do read this. I got a call from california(I am in germany) from l2 or l3 support and we went though the upgrade process. We were talking for almost 2 hours trying differnt settings and exchanging network traffic protocols with wireshark but after that nothing happened until today. Well, v1.0.2.82 was released...

The support ticket is still there.

    You mean someone read an earlier conversation. Not the same as "this", as your message confirms:
