Deco M5 - AP vs Router mode - what do I lose?

What are the pros and cons for using the Deco M5 in Router Mode and AP mode?
What benefits for each mode?
What do I lose if I switch from Router Mode to AP mode?
Thanks.

Thanks for the link. Can you please ask your dev team to add Parental control to the AP mode? I bought the Deco M5 because all your marketing material advertises Parental control as a major feature. There is no mention in the marketing material that this only applies to Router mode - this is very misleading. It should not be hidden away on a hard to find FAQ that AP mode does not support all the extra features
Even the specification page has no mention that Parental control is only for Router mode: https://www.tp-link.com/uk/home-networking/deco/deco-m5/#specifications
The FAQ page for Parental Control also does not mention this: https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/faq/1598/
