Android Genie App and Orbi and Access Control
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.- DarrenMJun 12, 2017Sr. NETGEAR Moderator
Hello OrbiPhilip
The genie app does not fully support orbi but does work in some cases I know that more features are coming with the orbi app but I have no ETA on this. The best way to use orbi right now is with the web ui.
