I upgrade the firmware to Version 1.0.2.82 and I cannot login to the AP.
What does that mean?
You have a separate wireless access point of some sort?
You are using the R7800 in wireless access point mode?
Something else?
The R7800 has problems in AP mode with recent firmware. (I assume that you browsed through the earlier messages before hitching a ride on this conversation.)

Then there is the general issue of what you can do with a wireless access point.

Out of curiosity, why would someone buy an expensive router and then disable most of its features so that it works as an access point?

I should add that I also have a router in AP mode, attached to an R7800 as a router. In my case, the AO is an Orbi. So I get the benefits of the Orbi's wifi and the advantages of the R7800 router.
