How do I get back to the setting to turn OFF the AP mode on my Netgear router? I was following a 'tech' guy over the phone who was trying to "ping" one of the computers on my wireless LAN. He had me go to the router set up and check a box to 'enable AP mode'. At that point, the internet went down and hasn't come back up.
I went back and tried to uncheck the AP mode but everything is greyed out and I can't access that same setting?
 
That would not be surprising since a AP does not do nat translation and a router does. Since there is some variation in routers from netgear hard to give a exact answer. The one method that generally always works is to reset it to factory. Even that is slightly different on some router but the general procedure is to hold the reset button during power on. You will then have to reconfigure everything from the start.
