Fix the Netgear Orbi App!
I have downloaded the Orbi app on my iPad and iPhone 7. Both of them show Online and 2 Satellites connected. But, the number of connected devices never shows. I have about 55 connected deviceand they show up when I use the web portal (access the router directly) with 192.168.1.1. Let's go Netgear.

- RustproofcornLuminaryI don't have that problem. However using genie, orbi app, web portal for both router and satellite is kinda getting old. Come on man.

I'm also having the exact problem the OP describes. Router shows up, satellite shows up, 0 connected devices per the Android app (web UI is fine).

Ditto here. It doesn't work, but to be fair, they are probably consumed working on the stability of the system, not the app.
- I know this is several months old but I just started having this problem last week. Has anybody heard anything?

I have this problem! is there a fix yet?
- JimSatala77AspirantOrbi app shows 0 satellite but they are show under connected device's, if I go to the main router Web gui I see all 3 satellite under the connected satellite list. I also have major problems getting the orbi app to connect it constantly says network busy. I'm also getting a intermittent network shutdown if I'm streaming video or audio at high bit rate, like the system gets overloaded
- JimSatala77AspirantSo far this system is less stable and slower by far than the adhoc mesh I created using a asus Ac5300 and 2 asus rp-Ac68u, I am going to give this another week or so and go back to the asus setup. I have been looking for a new system for months and so far every one of these mesh systems are horrible with lan throughput, I am thinking that these are not for people with a nas or home media server but just for large coverage and very light usage
