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?
Disabled Features on the Router when set to AP Mode | Answer | NETGEAR Support
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.
