App just let me sign in with the original password... very strange. Appears this is solved.
Ok as this thread is supposed to be about the app and not router firmware I'll try and get us back on track.
App version 2.2 has a bug where if I close it down and reopen, it reports I have a Netgear Nighthawk router and doesn't work. It shows a red dot for connection. If I close the app and swipe it from recent apps (this is the Android version) to effectively kill the process, I can restart the app and it reports I'm connected to my Orbi again.

Hello Bouttime
are you able to provide me a screenshot of this? so I can show the engineers.

- Hi. Not until Friday as I'm away from home until then.
Cheers. After exiting App and re-openingNormal or after killing process in recent apps and re-opening
And the app is back to being weid again..... It is once again no longer showing which orbi the devices are connected to - just saying RBR50 for all of them. It did this before, and then started working correctly and now has stopped again, all without anything changing. Is it the app or is it the orbi? Who knows.....
But I have to say I like the traffic meter option which does not seem to be available when you connect to the router. (if you havent swiped up on the main page then you may not have seen this option!)
The history on that speed test in the app, is a nice touch.
- I’ve had Orbi only for a few weeks. I have had similar issues from the beginning, but it seems a temporary issue. Sometimes 5 minutes later it works again, other times I killed the app, restarted and it worked. The good news is that it’s mostly a way to read data and when you don’t see anything listed it doesn’t mean your router and network are broken
