How do I Reset Orbi as Access Point
The root issue is that I have not been able to connect to my wireless printer from my windows 10 desktop for a several weeks. My destop is having connection issues with the devices attached to the O...
I reset the Orbi to be an access point. I temporarily lost access to the printer and music server but restarting the Orbi and the PC fixed that.
(It looked like the Orbi automatically restarted when the change was made, but apparently that was not the case.)
We will see if the issue with internet access re-occurs again. Maybe this has solved the problem. Thanks for all your advice. (This is better than waiting days for a response from Netgear.) I will let you know tomorrow if this solution worked.

No internet access issues this morning. Changing the Orbi to the AP mode worked. I also noticed that when I logged into the ATT router last night that all the wireless devices on the Orbi are now listed. I could probably move the pc and the Vortexbox from the Ethernet switch to the router but since things are working now, I am going to leave things well enough alone. Thanks everyone for the useful answers.
Glad to hear you have it up and running properly!
