Please disable captive portal when SXR80 is on AP mode. This creates a lot of confusion when navigating through settings.

it's a valid feature in router and AP mode. Can't follow you.

@schumaku when the SXR80 is on AP mode, the Guest Portal or Guest Network is showing up and can be modified but is not functioning as expected. It is backed up by this KB article:

Hopefully, what they'll do is if the SXR80 is on AP mode, they grey out the Guest Network/Guest Portal feature so at least users would know right away that if on AP mode, it's not an available feature.
