One positive note - for the time being - at least Netgear is not requiring smart phone app based router management. Though, the fact you can't turn off said app based management is in itself a serious security risk.
My impression has been that installing the Orbi "app" is entirely optional. Don't install the app and (because it's not installed) do not connect it to the Orbi. If it was installed, then delete the app, change the Orbi management password and change the Netgear login password. What am I missing?
I have long suspected "memory leaks" might be responsible for some of the Orbi quirks. Can you point to a discussion that explains buffer overruns?
Thanks
