RBR850 wont connect to satellite in AP mode

I have an RBR850 & RBS850 configured in AP mode and I am having some issue

 

When I check for new firmware it tells me there is no internet access so I manually upgrade (when I remember)

 

I have upgraded from version 3.4 to 4.6.3.16 now when I am in AP mode the satellite wont sync at all, if I change it to router mode it will sync but when I go back to AP it losses it.

 

I also had it setup as ethernet backhaul but now when using ethernet it works but shows the ORBI19 SSID and I use a custom one so they don’t match


I have read quite a few posts with similar issues but I am yet to find a solution

Re: RBR850 wont connect to satellite in AP mode

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX (WiFi 6) products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi AX and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Thank you.
