Netgear Genie not working with Orbi on latest firmware
Can't login to the genie app anymore after the latest firmware update. Anyone else having similar issue? The Orbi is a great piece of hardware, but the software interface (app) is crappy.
The Orbi app works, but it doesn't offer the functionality of pausing the internet on a device. My Orbi is in AP mode, and i cannot do that on the web ui. With the Netgear Genie app i was able to do it till the latest firmware update even in AP mode. After the latest firmware update, i cannot log in anymore.

The genie apps were not designed to fully work with orbi but they can because of similar coding right now the best way to access settings is the web ui.

But the WebUI doesn't have all the features either. For example, I cannot set device type in the WebUI.
