Orbi iOS app?
Will the Orbi have its own iOS app separate from Netgrear Genie to manage the network? I'm curious because I'm not a fan of the current Netgear Genie iOS app due to how outdated it looks visually.

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!
