Hello thedak
You may need to log into the orbis web interface to make changes like this by going to www.orbilogin.com

When is Netgear going to release an app that's functional? Look at what the competition ( Linksys) is offering for a similar priced product- DarrenMSr. NETGEAR Moderator
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. - DarrenMSr. NETGEAR Moderator

Yes they are aware of the issue I do not have a ETA.
