App disables all Internet access instead individual device

Question

My main use of the Orbi App is to disable individual devices temporarily. However, when I try to do this, the result is that all my wireless devices get blocked (wired connections still work).

The real problem with the App is the recovery method: I have to reboot the Orbi (main and satellite) at least once, and sometimes have to fiddle with the individual devices to get them to reconnect. Sometimes I can go to the web interface, select Attached Devices, and press Refresh to clear everything up (but not always).

Blocking individual devices with the web interface works fine, no problems.

This makes the App pretty useless for me, so I'm forced to use the web interface (which is difficult to use from a cellphone screen).

Please try to test the App more thoroughly.
