How does the settings in the app look like? You need also to activate it in the app. Not enough to do it in the GUI. This is how it's done in iPhone:

The App has it (and had it) enabled as well as the GUI... but it says it is disconnected as per the image above.
The serial number is correct but there is a red dot next to the router name (RBR50).
Any other thoughts?

I CAN web access the router GUI remotely but the Orbi App doesnt work.
Any other thoughts?

1. Can you please also try from the Genie app. Go to Remote Management --> Enter your netgear account email and password and then enable Remote Management.
2. Please also check under >>ADVANCED>>Administration>>Logs>> if you see any remote access activity events when you try to login so we know if the remote login attempt was at all reaching to Orbi.
