No you don't have to factory reset, you can go in and log in to the Orbi routers web page and navigate to Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Router and AP mode.

Thank you for replyThe manufacturer is SERCOMM (a Taiwan based company) and the router's model is Livebox 4. It was designed for the french ISP Orange.
I understand you advise to reinstall the AP Mode of the Orbi system.
In order to do this I have to reset the ORBI to the manufactury defaults (in order to reaccess the interface) and then apply the manual to switch to AP Mode. Unless you know a more simple way to achieve the re-installation.

Yes I did it and now it works as it should. I did not know I could access the ORBI router once it was in AP mode.
Also I do not understand why it had gone back to router mode. Is this possible if there is a loss of power or any other disturbance ?
Thanks for help.

Yes you can access the Orbi router in AP mode. You can look at the IP address it gets from the modem/router combo and use that IP address to connect to the Orbi in AP mode as well.
The Orbi should not revert back on it's own to router mode from AP Mode. Even if there was a power loss. Let us know if it happens again.
