In another thread you said

"Re: Can I use the ethernet ports when in AP mode?

I would use CAT6 LAN cable. CAT5 is old and not recommended for 1Gb LAN connections. 

The EX will work with the LAN ports. Just walk thru the setup wizard and select AP mode and complete the setup. Once it's complete, you have to connect the EX using one of it's LAN ports to the main host router down stairs. I would also set a static IP address ON the EX as well, 192.168.1.70, that way you can always access the EX web page when needed."

I recently put my ORBI in AP mode and then i couldnt access the admin page at 192.168.1.1 and I had to reset my system to get back in. Is it supposed to work or do I have to set a static IP in order to get back to the admin page?

Thanks

When your in AP mode, Look at the host routers connected clients list for the RBR. Look at the IP address given to the RBR. Use this IP address to access the RBRs web page in AP mode.

Wimmme did you disable only DoS logging or other options as well?
