No seamless connection btwn WAX630E and router

I installed a Netgear Wireless Access Point (WAX630E) and my phone only connects to it if I turn my wifi off, go next to the WAP, and turn my wifi back on. And vice versa, if I am connected to my WAP and I go near my router, I'll lose service and it won't connect unless I turn my wifi off and then back on again.

I have "Fast Roaming 802.11r" on and I am in "No mesh mode"

Should I turn mesh mode on? Any tips?

My router is a Comcast XB8....please don't tell me I need only Netgear devices to seamlessly connect to one another....

Not 100% because I don't have any of the business class access points but my understanding for the "mesh" feature to work was it needed to be insight managed. 

How do I set up an Insight Instant Mesh network? | Answer | NETGEAR Support

 

You can set them with the same ssid but they won't roam as efficiently as they aren't part of the same mesh.
