Orbi IOS app won't connect to network
I recently discovered the Orbi app after having had my network setup for some time. But the app won't connect to the wifi network I've created. I'm wondering if it's because the name of the network...
What I've been able to determine is that the Orbi App WILL NOT work at all if you have IPV6 turned on. If you go into the IPV6 tab, and disable it - the app will once again work. Same problem exists with the Genie app.
I diabled IPV6, power cycled router, and iphone and still can't connect. Prior to getting the Orbi, I had Negear NightHawk R7800 and IPV6 enabled. Never had any issues with Genie app working. App appears to not even be able to connect to Orbi, screen with busy message pops up very quickly.
I faced the same issue and was driving me nuts. Disabling iPv6 worked but I didn't want to disable it. But selecting ICMP filtering as Open instead of the default Secured work for me. Also selected overall iPv6 as Autoconfig at the top.
