Hi, have the lastest ORBI firmward and the latest Android Genie App but the access control toggle seems to do nothing.   Is this yet function for ORBI?

  • DarrenM,
    When is Netgear going to release an app that's functional? Look at what the competition ( Linksys) is offering for a similar priced product

      Hello Anidutta

       

      We do have a orbi app but it does not have those advanced features built into it yet.

        DarrenM - It's been 5 months and the Genie app still does not support Wifi or Remote Access configuration.  But the online documentation only references setting those us via the genie app. And in my case, Remote Access appears not to work properly when set up via the WebUI.

        If the app isn't full baked, Netgear shoudn't be pushing it as the preferred config tool.

    That doesn't really respond to my question: when can we expect a functional app with advanced features? Your competitors are already offering the features in their apps.
