No internet with RBR750 in AP mode
I can get the Costco purchased RBR750 to work fine in router mode, but no internet in AP mode. The only thing unusual about the setup in AP mode is that the other router is leasing IPs in the 192.16...
I think you’re seeing this issue just because of the used IP range 192.168.2.x. Orbi AX uses this range for the guest network by default.
If you insist on using 192.168.2.x for the main network you’ll need to change the default guest network’s IP range to 192.168.3.x. Please see this post: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-AX/RBR850-Changing-Guest-LAN-IP-subnet-Guest-Wireless-subnet-The-IP/m-p/1815693/highlight/true#M159.

When I switched to AP mode, the guest devices got 10.0.1.x IPs so I don't think your "fix" is going to do much besides changing the guest subnet. I'd try it, but it looks like Netgear removed the telnet switch for the debug.htm page.
This is kind of a weird setup, an AP should not be issuing any IPs so I'm not really suprised that guest network isolation doesn't occur.
