Netgear Orbi app
Finally after couple of months of launching the amazing hardware, Netgear came out with an app. Please don't get your hopes high with this app. It is an utterly useless app. The only functionality it ...
I traded in a Luma wifi system for the Orbi since the Luma hardware didn't provide me the coverage I needed. The Orbi meets my needs. But I've got to say, the Luma app provide so much control for managing the network than the current version of the Orbi app. With the Orbi app only thing that can be done is changing SSID and password. It's missing the following:
1) QoS
2) Parental control
3) Pausing internet
4) setting time limits for devices
5) blocking devices
Netgear has one of the best whole home wifi systems. But it is extremely disappointing for them to release an app that does basically nothing!

I purchased and setup my Orbi on December 12, 2016 and the app also got release on the same day. I installed the app from Apple App store. First of all, it kept shutting down when i tried to select the existing setup. Finally I selected new setup and then it worked. But I don't see any use of this app besides seeing connected devices.
app is still under developement and was released prob because ppl where complaining there wasnt an app , the app will develope over time you just need to cool your jets and wait
